3.11.10.9 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@xxxxxxxxx> commit 61db45ca21630f5ab7f678d54c5d969c21647854 upstream. The original code was lost accidently, it was not generated along with the following commit of mechanism improvements and thus not get merged: Commit: d5a36100f62fa6db5541344e08b361b34e9114c5 Subject: ACPICA: Add mechanism for early object repairs on a per-name basis Adds the framework to allow object repairs very early in the return object analysis. Enables repairs like string->unicode, etc. This patch restores the implementation of the NULL element repair code for ACPI_RTYPE_NONE. In the original design, ACPI_RTYPE_NONE is defined to collect simple NULL object repairs. Lv Zheng.
