From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 4a49194f587a62d972b602e3e1a2c3cfe6567966 ] acpi_dev_hid_match() does not check for adev == NULL, dereferencing it unconditional. Add a check for adev being NULL before calling acpi_dev_hid_match(). At the moment acpi_quirk_skip_serdev_enumeration() is never called with a controller_parent without an ACPI companion, but better safe than sorry.
