From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> ACPICA commit 08a00639b0d6756e8ba1421419fc3728904651d9 The calls to acpi_os_acquire_object can result in a null being assigned to Op (for example if a mutex acquire fails) which can lead to a null pointer dereference on Op on the call to ASL_CV_TRANSFER_COMMENTS (via function cv_transfer_comments). Move the block into the previous block that checks for a null Op so that we never can call cv_transfer_comments with a null Op.
