[ Upstream commit c9ba592580947b81f33f514320aeef02ddc001fd ] The EliteDesk 800 G6 stores a raw WMI string within the ACPI object in its BIOS corresponding to one instance of HPBIOS_PlatformEvents.Name. This is evidently a valid way of representing a WMI data item as far as the Microsoft ACPI-WMI mapper is concerned, but is preventing the driver from loading. This seems quite rare, but add support for such strings. Treating this as a quirk pretty much means adding that support anyway. Also clean up an oversight in update_numeric_sensor_from_wobj() in which the result of hp_wmi_strdup() was being used without error checking.

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.
