Subject: [GIT PULL] ACPI fix for final v6.13

Hi Linus,

Please pull from the tag

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm.git \
 acpi-6.13-rc8

with top-most commit 14578923e8c251091d2bb8a2756cde3b662ac316

 ACPI: video: Fix random crashes due to bad kfree()

on top of commit 5bc55a333a2f7316b58edc7573e8e893f7acb532

 Linux 6.13-rc7

to receive an ACPI fix for final 6.13.

This prevents acpi_video_device_EDID() from returning a pointer to a
memory region that should not be passed to kfree() which causes one of
its users to crash randomly on attempts to free it (Chris Bainbridge).

Thanks!
