The nfit driver had an acpi event notification handler, but it never
would've worked because we weren't setting the
ACPI_DRIVER_ALL_NOTIFY_EVENTS flag in acpi_driver.

Let's update the changelog to be helpful for someone implementing a
backport or taking this back to a -stable branch.  Something like:

Subject: acpi, nfit: fix event notifications

Commit 209851649dc4 "acpi: nfit: Add support for hot-add" added
support for _FIT notifications, but it neglected to set the
ACPI_DRIVER_ALL_NOTIFY_EVENTS flag that acpi_bus_notify() uses to gate
notification delivery.

Fixes: 209851649dc4 ("acpi: nfit: Add support for hot-add")

While we're at it, should we update the notifier function to explicitly check
for event 0x80 before re-evaluating the _FIT?  I'm thinking about some time
in the future when there might be more than one event.

Yes, good idea.

Sounds good, part of the same patch or separately?

Separate.

In general, if you would write the word "also" in a patch description,
that's an indication to make a separate patch.
