[PATCH v2 02/16] platform/x86: asus-laptop: Check ACPI_COMPANION() against NULL
From: Rafael J. Wysocki
Date: Tue May 12 2026 - 10:48:27 EST
From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>
Every platform driver can be forced to match a device that doesn't match
its list of device IDs because of device_match_driver_override(), so
platform drivers that rely on the existence of a device's ACPI companion
object need to verify its presence.
Accordingly, add a requisite ACPI_COMPANION() check against NULL to the
platform/x86 asus-laptop driver.
Fixes: ba19eb10170b ("platform/x86: asus-laptop: Convert ACPI driver to a platform one")
