[PATCH 2/2] ACPI: bus: Bail out if acpi_kobj registration fails

From: Armin Wolf
Date: Sun May 18 2025 - 14:51:44 EST


The ACPI sysfs code will fail to initialize if acpi_kobj is NULL,
together with some ACPI drivers. Follow the other firmware subsystems
and bail out if the kobject cannot be registered.
