Rafael J. Wysocki 156819a047 ACPI: property: Disregard references in data-only subnode lists
[ Upstream commit d06118fe9b03426484980ed4c189a8c7b99fa631 ]

Data-only subnode links following the ACPI data subnode GUID in a _DSD
package are expected to point to named objects returning _DSD-equivalent
packages.  If a reference to such an object is used in the target field
of any of those links, that object will be evaluated in place (as a
named object) and its return data will be embedded in the outer _DSD
package.

For this reason, it is not expected to see a subnode link with the
target field containing a local reference (that would mean pointing
to a device or another object that cannot be evaluated in place and
therefore cannot return a _DSD-equivalent package).

Accordingly, simplify the code parsing data-only subnode links to
simply print a message when it encounters a local reference in the
target field of one of those links.

Moreover, since acpi_nondev_subnode_data_ok() would only have one
caller after the change above, fold it into that caller.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
