Commit 2d2a954375a0 (ACPICA: Update two error messages to emit control method name) causes acpi_evaluate_object_typed() to fail if its pathname argument is NULL, but some callers of that function in the kernel, particularly acpi_nondev_subnode_data_ok(), pass NULL as pathname to it and expect it to work. For this reason, make acpi_evaluate_object_typed() check if its pathname argument is NULL and fall back to using the pathname of its handle argument if that is the case.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
