The flags will only be reset when device B supports at least one
function.

That could break PM on at least two Acer laptops. The Acer Travelmate
8472TG from 2011 (acpidump[1]) has two DSM on the Nvidia and Intel ACPI
handles:

 - Nvidia: supports MXM methods only.
 - Intel: supports the older Nvidia UUID (for toggling power and
   possibly other things).

 [1]: https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/bbswitch/issues/4#issuecomment-219988501

There is also an Acer Aspire 5742G which possibly breaks (linked in the
above issue), but that could be a configuration issue that disabled
Optimus in BIOS (unconfirmed).

If it matters, both of these laptops have a MXMX method (Select Display
Data Channel), but their MXMI (Return Specification Support Level) and
MXMS (Return MXM Structure) functions are disfunctional. There is also a
MXDS function on both ACPI handles, but these are not hooked to the WMI
interface for some reason. No idea of Acer has hacked up some drivers to
work with this, outside these models I do not know others that are also
affected by this issue.

The dhandle is only set when at least one valid DSM was found on the
device. The dhandle assignment could indeed be moved to the caller,
making it more obvious that the dhandle is only valid when the
capabilities are detected (this does not have a functional change
though). I'll do it in the next version.
