ACPI / property: fix handling of data_nodes in acpi_get_next_subnode()
When the DSDT tables expose devices with subdevices and a set of hierarchical _DSD properties, the data returned by acpi_get_next_subnode() is incorrect, with the results suggesting a bad pointer assignment. The parser works fine with device_nodes or data_nodes, but not with a combination of the two. The problem is traced to an invalid pointer used when jumping from handling device_nodes to data nodes. The existing code looks for data nodes below the last subdevice found instead of the common root. Fix by forcing the acpi_device pointer to be derived from the same fwnode for the two types of subnodes. This same problem of handling device and data nodes was already fixed in a similar way by 'commit bf4703fdd166 ("ACPI / property: fix data node parsing in acpi_get_next_subnode()")' but broken later by 'commit 34055190b19 ("ACPI / property: Add fwnode_get_next_child_node()")', so this should probably go to linux-stable all the way to 4.12 Signed-off-by: Pierre-Louis Bossart <pierre-louis.bossart@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

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.
