As already reported the following patch should fix the issue:
commit 88d25cbfda526567dabf056a868d8ff5f22a962e

sony-laptop: fix early NULL pointer dereference
The SNC acpi driver could get early notifications before it fully

structure pointer that is still NULL at that stage.
Make sure we return early from the handle lookup function in these
cases.
