If the NULL test on pr is needed, then the dereference should be after the
NULL test.
A simplified version of the semantic match that detects this problem is as
follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/):
// <smpl>
@match exists@
expression x, E;
identifier fld;
@@
* x->fld
... when != \(x = E\|&x\)
* x == NULL
// </smpl>

Annote acpi_processor_add with cpuinit since it calls a cpuinit function
acpi_processor_power_init and fixes a section mismatch warning.
We were warned by the following warning:
LD drivers/acpi/processor.o
WARNING: drivers/acpi/processor.o(.text+0x1829): Section mismatch in
reference from the function acpi_processor_add() to the function
.cpuinit.text:acpi_processor_power_init()
The function acpi_processor_add() references
the function __cpuinit acpi_processor_power_init().
This is often because acpi_processor_add lacks a __cpuinit
annotation or the annotation of acpi_processor_power_init is wrong.

If the ACPI methods return an error code, we must return -EINVAL to userspace
to flag the error. Right now we pass the (positive) number right through,
which causes echo to keep writing bogus values.

proc.c and video.c are a bit sloppy around types and style,
confusing gcc for a new feature that'll be in 2.6.33 and will
cause a warning on the current code.
This patch changes
if (foo + 1 > sizeof bar)
into
if (foo >= sizeof(bar))
which is more kernel-style.
it also changes a variable in proc.c to unsigned; it gets assigned
a value from an unsigned type, and is then only compared for > not
for negative, so using unsigned is just outright the right type

Currently a video bus device must (beside other criteria) define _DOD and
_DOS methods to be considered a video device.
Some broken BIOSes prevented working backlight control by only defining both
for one (non-existing bus) and only _DOD for the rest. With this patch in
place the other bus definitions were considered too and backlight control
started to work again.

acpi_get_pci_dev() may be called for a non-PCI device, in which case
it should return NULL. However, it assumes that every handle it
finds in the ACPI CA name space, between given device handle and the
PCI root bridge handle, corresponds to a PCI-to-PCI bridge with an
existing secondary bus. For this reason, when it finds a struct
pci_dev object corresponding to one of them, it doesn't check if
its 'subordinate' field is a valid pointer. This obviously leads to
a NULL pointer dereference if acpi_get_pci_dev() is called for a
non-PCI device with a PCI parent which is not a bridge.
To fix this issue make acpi_get_pci_dev() check if pdev->subordinate
is not NULL for every device it finds on the path between the root
bridge and the device it's supposed to get to and return NULL if the
"target" device cannot be found.

I was recently lucky enough to get a 64-CPU system. The processors
actually have T-states, so my kernel log ends up with 64 lines like:
ACPI: Processor [CPU0] (supports xx throttling states)
This is pretty useless clutter because
- this info is already available after boot from
/proc/acpi/processor/CPUnn/throttling
- there's also an ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT() in processor_throttling.c that
gives the same info on boot for anyone who *really* cares.
So just delete the code that prints the throttling states in
processor_core.c.

The ACPI /proc write() code takes an unsigned length argument like any write()
function, but then assigned it to a *signed* integer called "len".
Only after this is a sanity check for len done to make it not larger than 4.
Due to the type change a len < 0 is in principle also possible; this patch
adds a check for this.
