[RFC v3] hwmon: (hp-wmi-sensors) Fix failure to load on EliteDesk 800 G6

From: James Seo
Date: Thu Nov 23 2023 - 00:49:59 EST


The EliteDesk 800 G6 stores a raw WMI string within the ACPI object in its
BIOS corresponding to one instance of HPBIOS_PlatformEvents.Name. This is
evidently a valid way of representing a WMI data item as far as the
Microsoft ACPI-WMI mapper is concerned, but is preventing the driver from
loading.

This seems quite rare, but add support for such strings. Treating this as a
quirk pretty much means adding that support anyway.

Also clean up an oversight in update_numeric_sensor_from_wobj() in which
the result of hp_wmi_strdup() was being used without error checking.

Reported-by: Lukasz Stelmach <l.stelmach@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-hwmon/7850a0bd-60e7-88f8-1d6c-0bb0e3234fdc@xxxxxxxxxxxx/
Tested-by: Lukasz Stelmach <l.stelmach@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Signed-off-by: James Seo <james@xxxxxxxxxx>
---

Changes v2->v3:
* Fix checkpatch warnings
- Line break commit message differently (no non-whitespace changes)
- Use "unsigned int" instead of "unsigned"
* Add Tested-by: from Lukasz Stelmach

Changes v1->v2:
* Remove DMI-based workaround logic
* Add full support for raw WMI strings
- Improve UTF-16 validation and conversion for the general case
- Support such strings if they occur in HPBIOS_BIOSEvent objects
* Only use the result of hp_wmi_strdup() in update_numeric_sensor_from_wobj()
if the call succeeded
