WMI event drivers which do not have no_notify_data set expect
that each WMI event contains valid data. Evaluating _WED however
might return no data, which can cause issues with such drivers.

Fix this by validating that evaluating _WED did return data.

I just noticed that this should have been "Event contains no event data\n".
Should i send
another patch?
Hi Armin,

As I was doing some history manipulation anyway as is, I tweaked it
directly in the history. While doing the conflict resolution because of
that small change I realized the wording got corrected in the latter patch
anyway so it was quite harmless but it's now correct in both commits in
review-ilpo branch.

Thank you!
