This is not a problem, it is a simple fix for an ugly compiler warning. When I tried to cimpile, I got the following warning: drivers/acpi/acpica/nsrepair.c: In function âacpi_ns_repair_objectâ: drivers/acpi/acpica/nsrepair.c:125:29: warning: ânew_objectâ may be used uninitialized in this function new_object is declared without being initialized. It is initialized in a conditional expression like if (expected_btypes & ACPI_RTYPE_INTEGER) so the compiler can't be sure that it will be used initialized, and it throws that warning. Just have to initialize new_object which is a pointer with NULL.
