This kfree needs to be moved up, rather then be completely removed
and you are still leaving 1 of the unnecessary length checks in place.

I've added this fixup on top, to fix both these issues:

--- a/drivers/acpi/bus.c
+++ b/drivers/acpi/bus.c
@@ -330,11 +330,7 @@ static void acpi_bus_osc_negotiate_platform_control(void)
 	if (ACPI_FAILURE(acpi_run_osc(handle, &context)))
 		return;
 
-	capbuf_ret = context.ret.pointer;
-	if (context.ret.length <= OSC_SUPPORT_DWORD) {
-		kfree(context.ret.pointer);
-		return;
-	}
+	kfree(context.ret.pointer);
 
 	/* Now run _OSC again with query flag clear */
 	capbuf[OSC_QUERY_DWORD] = 0;

I'll ask the reporters of:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213023
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1963717

To test the (fixed-up) patch, so that they can confirm if this indeed
fixes things.

Hans
