Careful here.

The ACPI device locking is changed to platform device locking without
a word of explanation in the changelog.

Do you actually know what the role of the locking around
__acpi_nfit_notify() is and whether or not it can be replaced with
platform device locking safely?

You seem to think that replacing adev->dev with pdev->dev everywhere
in this driver will work,

Have you verified that in any way?  If so, then how?
