Subject[PATCH 3.11 04/36] ACPICA: Return error if DerefOf resolves to a null package element.
Date
3.11-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bob Moore <robert.moore@intel.com>

commit a50abf4842dd7d603a2ad6dcc7f1467fd2a66f03 upstream.

Disallow the dereference of a reference (via index) to an uninitialized
package element. Provides compatibility with other ACPI
implementations. ACPICA BZ 1003.
