Subject: acpi: add checking for NULL early param
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f0df2d6b52ad7db5edf56909509d51be66fe90be;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

acpi: add checking for NULL early param

The early_param handling function could recieve NULL pointer as argument
in case if user didn't enter parameter value.  So we have to be ready for
a such situation and do check for NULL pointer if needed.
