An SHPC can be operated either by platform firmware or by the OS. The OS
uses a host bridge ACPI _OSC method to negotiate for control of SHPC. If
firmware wants to prevent an OS from operating an SHPC, it must supply an
_OSC method that declines to grant SHPC ownership to the OS.
If acpi_pci_find_root() returns NULL, it means there's no ACPI host bridge
device (PNP0A03 or PNP0A08) and hence no _OSC method, so the OS is always
allowed to manage the SHPC.
Fix a NULL pointer dereference when CONFIG_ACPI=y but the current
hardware/firmware platform doesn't support ACPI. In that case,
acpi_get_hp_hw_control_from_firmware() is implemented but
acpi_pci_find_root() returns NULL.

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.
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.
