Subject: [PATCH] acpi: Fix oops in asus_acpi.c on Samsung P30/P35 Laptops
Date: 2005-09-23 23:36:25 GMT
Samsung P35's INIT returns an integer (instead of a string or a
plain buffer), which caused an oops when the result was treated as
string in asus_hotk_get_info() (since an invalid pointer got
dereferenced).
This patch explicitly checks for ACPI_TYPE_INTEGER and for the
return values possible on the P30/P35.
