Bail out also when status is AE_NOT_FOUND with a proper error message.

I'm not really sure how realistic this failure is. Can you share the
full call trace that Coverity identified?
I just checked Coverity Scan and it only says:
5. Condition status, taking true branch.
6. Condition status != 5U /* (acpi_status)(5 | 0) */, taking false branch.
The above points are related to:
if (ACPI_FAILURE(status) && status != AE_NOT_FOUND)
It doesn't show how acpi_evaluate_object() is expected to return
AE_NOT_FOUND.
This said, if you think this case is unrealistic, why do you check for
"status != AE_NOT_FOUND" at all?
At this point maybe it would make more sense to simply drop this check
and always bail out with the current error message.
Basically a patch with the following only:
- /* Fail if calling the method fails and ATIF is supported */
- if (ACPI_FAILURE(status) && status != AE_NOT_FOUND) {
+ /* Fail if calling the method fails */
+ if (ACPI_FAILURE(status)) {
This way we don't make a fuzz for a possibly unrealistic case, while
still protecting against bugs and null-dereferences.
Regards,
amdgpu_atif_pci_probe_handle() will check whether the handle is
available in the first place. We'll never this this far if that failed.
Because of that I don't follow how this could return AE_NOT_FOUND.
