The while-loop may break on one of the two conditions, either ID string
is empty or GUID matches. The second one, may never be reached if the
parsed string is not correct GUID. In such a case the loop will never
advance to check the next ID.
Break possible infinite loop by factoring out guid_parse_and_compare()
helper which may be moved to the generic header for everyone later on
and preventing from similar mistake in the future.
Interestingly that firstly it appeared when WMI was turned into a bus
driver, but later when duplicated GUIDs were checked, the while-loop
has been replaced by for-loop and hence no mistake made again.

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 Restructured Text 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.
