Rafael J. Wysocki 9b40eebcd3 ACPICA: Fix acpi_evaluate_object_typed()
Commit 2d2a954375 (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.
