[PATCH v1 1/2] hpet: Check ACPI_COMPANION() against NULL at probe time

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

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
hpet driver.

Fixes: 71f0a267346b ("hpet: Convert ACPI driver to a platform one")
