These function allocate an acpi object by calling wmi_get_event_data, which
then calls acpi_evaluate_object, and it is not freed afterwards.
And kernel doc is fixed for parameters of wmi_get_event_data.

WMI provides interface-specific GUIDs that are exported from modules as
modalises, but the core currently generates no events to trigger module
loading. This patch adds support for registering devices for each WMI GUID
and generating the appropriate uevent.
Based heavily on a patch by Carlos Corbacho (<carlos@strangeworlds.co.uk>).

Linux/ACPI core files using internal.h all PREFIX "ACPI: ",
however, not all ACPI drivers use/want it -- and they
should not have to #undef PREFIX to define their own.
Add GPL commment to internal.h while we are there.
This does not change any actual console output,
asside from a whitespace fix.

Summary:
Kernel panic arise when stack protection is enabled, since strncat will
add a null terminating byte '\0'; So in functions
like this one (wmi_query_block):
char wc[4]="WC";
....
strncat(method, block->object_id, 2);
...
the length of wc should be n+1 (wc[5]) or stack protection
fault will arise. This is not noticeable when stack protection is
disabled,but , isn't good either.
Config used: [CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_ALL=y,
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y]

This patch adds a .notify() method. The presence of .notify() causes
Linux/ACPI to manage event handlers and notify handlers on our behalf,
so we don't have to install and remove them ourselves.

These are platform specific drivers that happen to use ACPI,
while drivers/acpi/ is for code that implements ACPI itself.
