Subject: [BUG] acpica: ltp_acpi test case causes kernel crash at acpi_ns_walk_namespace

Hi guys,

While running LTP tests I've faced kernel crash caused by ltp_acpi test case.
I have ACPI support enabled in kernel but kernel is boot with FDT having ACPI
disabled. The ltp_acpi test case application is built along with ltp_acpi_cmds
module to run ACPI tests.

So my question is - should we update acpica implementation at kernel side by
adding 'acpi_disabled' variable checking to the 'acpi_get_devices' function (see
patch next to this email, maybe not a good approach) or this should be fixed at LTP
side so the ltp_acpi_cmds should be updated in order to check if acpi is enabled
before running tests ?

Please check for kernel trace below:
