Subject: [PATCH v1 1/4] PCI: shpchp: Manage SHPC unconditionally on non-ACPI
 systems

From: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@...gle.com>

If acpi_pci_find_root() returns NULL, it means there's no ACPI host bridge
device (PNP0A03 or PNP0A08), and the OS is always allowed to manage the
SHPC, so return success in that case.

This fixes a NULL pointer dereference when CONFIG_ACPI=y but the current
hardware/firmware platform doesn't support ACPI.  In that case,
acpi_get_hp_hw_control_from_firmware() is implemented but
acpi_pci_find_root() returns NULL.

Fixes: 90cc0c3cc709 ("PCI: shpchp: Add shpchp_is_native()")
