commit 78a18fec5258c8df9435399a1ea022d73d3eceb9 upstream.
Set the acpi_device pointer which acpi_bus_get_device() returns-by-
reference to NULL on errors.
We've recently had 2 cases where callers of acpi_bus_get_device()
did not properly error check the return value, so set the returned-
by-reference acpi_device pointer to NULL, because at least some
callers of acpi_bus_get_device() expect that to be done on errors.
[ rjw: This issue was exposed by commit 71da201f38df ("ACPI: scan:
Defer enumeration of devices with _DEP lists") which caused it to
be much more likely to occur on some systems, but the real defect
had been introduced by an earlier commit. ]
Fixes: 40e7fcb19293 ("ACPI: Add _DEP support to fix battery issue on Asus T100TA")
Fixes: bcfcd409d4db ("usb: split code locating ACPI companion into port and device")

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.
