NULL pointer deref oops in skl_int3472_get_acpi_buffer() during
probe() when it tries to get adev->handle.

I guess for v2 you want me to reword the second paragraph of the commit
message to e.g. :

Add a check for adev not being set and return -ENODEV in that case to
avoid a possible NULL pointer deref in skl_int3472_get_acpi_buffer().

?
