Cryolitia PukNgae 1bc34293df ACPICA: Avoid walking the Namespace if start_node is NULL
[ Upstream commit 9d6c58dae8f6590c746ac5d0012ffe14a77539f0 ]

Although commit 0c9992315e ("ACPICA: Avoid walking the ACPI Namespace
if it is not there") fixed the situation when both start_node and
acpi_gbl_root_node are NULL, the Linux kernel mainline now still crashed
on Honor Magicbook 14 Pro [1].

That happens due to the access to the member of parent_node in
acpi_ns_get_next_node().  The NULL pointer dereference will always
happen, no matter whether or not the start_node is equal to
ACPI_ROOT_OBJECT, so move the check of start_node being NULL
out of the if block.

Unfortunately, all the attempts to contact Honor have failed, they
refused to provide any technical support for Linux.

The bad DSDT table's dump could be found on GitHub [2].

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.
