Rafael J. Wysocki 452945662f ACPI: NFIT: core: Fix possible NULL pointer dereference
commit 027e128abb upstream.

After commit 9b311b7313 ("ACPI: NFIT: Install Notify() handler before
getting NFIT table"), acpi_nfit_probe() installs an ACPI notify handler
for the NFIT device before checking the presence of the NFIT table.  If
that table is not there, 0 is returned without allocating the acpi_desc
object and setting the driver data pointer of the NFIT device.  If the
platform firmware triggers an NFIT_NOTIFY_UC_MEMORY_ERROR notification
on the NFIT device at that point, acpi_nfit_uc_error_notify() will
dereference a NULL pointer.

Prevent that from occurring by adding an acpi_desc check against NULL
to acpi_nfit_uc_error_notify().

Fixes: 9b311b7313 ("ACPI: NFIT: Install Notify() handler before getting NFIT table")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
