ACPICA: Fix acpi_evaluate_object_typed()

Commit 2d2a954375a0 (ACPICA: Update two error messages to emit
control method name) causes acpi_evaluate_object_typed() to fail
if its pathname argument is NULL, but some callers of that function
in the kernel, particularly acpi_nondev_subnode_data_ok(), pass
NULL as pathname to it and expect it to work.

For this reason, make acpi_evaluate_object_typed() check if its
pathname argument is NULL and fall back to using the pathname of
its handle argument if that is the case.

ACPICA: Divergence: remove unwanted spaces for typedef

ACPICA commit b2294cae776f5a66a7697414b21949d307e6856f

This patch removes unwanted spaces for typedef. This solution doesn't cover
function types.

Note that the linuxize result of this commit is very giant and should have
many conflicts against the current Linux upstream. Thus it is required to
modify the linuxize result of this commit and the commits around it
manually in order to have them merged to the Linux upstream. Since this is
very costy, we should do this only once, and if we can't ensure to do this
only once, we need to revert the Linux code to the wrong indentation result
before merging the linuxize result of this commit. Lv Zheng.

Introduce a new function, acpi_get_data_full(), working in analogy
with acpi_get_data() except that it can execute a callback provided
as its 4th argument right after acpi_ns_get_attached_data() has
returned a success.

That will allow Linux to reference count the object pointed to by
*data before the namespace mutex is released so as to ensure that it
will not be freed going forward until the reference to it acquired
by acpi_get_data_full() is dropped.

This patch decreases 26 lines of 20121018 divergence.diff.

The ACPICA uses a call depth tracing mechanism by wrapping the return

# 3e8214e5 18-Dec-2012 Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@intel.com>

ACPICA: Cleanup indentation to reduce differences between Linux and ACPICA.

This is a cosmetic patch only. Comparison of the resulting binary showed
only line number differences.

This patch does not affect the generation of the Linux binary.
This patch decreases 210 lines of 20121018 divergence.diff.

The ACPICA source codes uses a totally different indentation style from the
Linux to be compatible with other users (operating systems or BIOS).

Indentation differences are critical to the release automation. There are
two causes related to the "indentation" that are affecting the release
automation:
1. The ACPICA -> Linux release process is:
ACPICA source -- acpisrc - hierarchy - indent ->
linuxized ACPICA source -- diff ->
linuxized ACPICA patch (x) -- human intervention ->
linuxized ACPICA patch (o)
Where
'x' means "cannot be directly applied to the Linux"
'o' means "can be directly applied to the Linux"
Different "indent" version or "indent" options used in the "indent"
step will lead to different divergences.
The version of "indent" used for the current release process is:
GNU indent 2.2.11
The options of "indent" used for the current release process is:
-npro -kr -i8 -ts8 -sob -l80 -ss -ncs
2. Manual indentation prettifying work in the Linux side will also harm the
automatically generated linuxized ACPICA patches, making them impossible
to apply directly.

This patch fixes source code differences caused by the two causes so that
the "human intervention" can be reduced in the future.

information via the standard sysfs interface.

There are two different ACPI interfaces:
- an old one (based on RVLT/RFAN/RTMP)
- a new one (GGRP/GITM)
Both may be present but there a few cases (my board, sigh) where the
new interface is just an empty stub; the driver defaults to the old one
when both are present.
The old interface has received a considerable testing, but I'm still
awaiting confirmation from my tester that the new one is working as
expected (hence the debug code is still enabled).

Currently all the attributes are read-only, though a (partial) control
should be possible with a bit more work.

ACPICA: Fix AcpiWalkNamespace race condition with table unload

Added a reader/writer locking mechanism to allow multiple
concurrent namespace walks (readers), but a dynamic table unload
will have exclusive access to the namespace. This fixes a problem
where a table unload could delete the portion of the namespace that
is currently being examined by a walk. Adds a new file, utlock.c
that implements the reader/writer lock mechanism. ACPICA BZ 749.

ACPICA: Remove ACPI_GET_OBJECT_TYPE macro

Remove all instances of this obsolete macro, since it is now a
simple reference to ->common.type. There were about 150 invocations
of the macro across 41 files. ACPICA BZ 755.
