Subject: [PATCH] power: supply: bq2415x: check for NULL acpi_id to avoid null pointer dereference

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

acpi_match_device can potentially return NULL, so it is prudent to
check if acpi_id is null before it is dereferenced.  Add a check
and an error message to indicate the failure.
