4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@xxxxxxx>
commit bf58f03931fdcf7b3c45cb76ac13244477a60f44 upstream.
If a BIOS provides bad data in response to an ATIF method call
this causes a NULL pointer dereference in the caller.
```

? amdgpu_atif_query_backlight_caps.constprop.0 (drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_acpi.c:386 (discriminator 1)) amdgpu
```
It has been encountered on at least one system, so guard for it.
