Subject: [PATCH] PCI: acpiphp_ibm: fix null dereferences on null ibm_slot

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

ibm_slot_from_id can return null if the des header signature is
not aPCI or if the kmalloc for the return acpi descriptore fails,
causing potential null pointer dereferences on the return null
descriptor.

Handle the null case with appropriate check and error return.
