[PATCH v2 11/16] platform/x86: sony-laptop: Check ACPI_COMPANION() against NULL
From: Rafael J. Wysocki
Date: Tue May 12 2026 - 10:22:18 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 requisite ACPI_COMPANION() checks against NULL to the
platform/x86 sony-laptop driver.
Fixes: 138db7ee58c0 ("platform/x86: sony-laptop: Convert PIC driver to a platform one")
Fixes: 14004dd31caa ("platform/x86: sony-laptop: Convert NC driver to a platform one")
