[PATCH v1] platform/x86: Add ACPI_COMPANION() checks against NULL to probe

From: Rafael J. Wysocki

Date: Mon May 11 2026 - 15:53:39 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() or ACPI_HANDLE() checks
against NULL to multiple platform/x86 drivers where they are missing.
