That new if-statement still needs indenting one more tab stop.  It's indented
the same as the previous if-statement, but is actually in the body of that
previous if-statement.

The body of the second if-statement should be indented one tab beyond the if,
and else/else-if statements and the final closing brace should be indented
level with the if:

	if (...) {
		body;
	} else if (...) {
		body;
	} else {
		body;
	}

so that they line up vertically.

The "dev:%p " seems like it ought to be superfluous if you're using
dev_warn(), and certainly, returning the pointer isn't really useful, I
suspect.

However, at this point you have two device struct pointers: dev and
&acip_dev->dev, so printing them both is may be good.  Perhaps something like:

+		dev_warn(&acpi_dev->dev,
+			 "Failed to create firmware_node link to %s %s: %d\n",
+			 dev_driver_string(dev), dev_name(dev), fn);
