[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 299/671] platform/x86: alienware-wmi: fix kfree on potentially uninitialized pointer

[Sasha Levin]

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

[ Upstream commit 98e2630284ab741804bd0713e932e725466f2f84 ]

Currently the kfree of output.pointer can be potentially freeing
an uninitalized pointer in the case where out_data is NULL. Fix this
by reworking the case where out_data is not-null to perform the
ACPI status check and also the kfree of outpoint.pointer in one block
and hence ensuring the pointer is only freed when it has been used.

Also replace the if (ptr != NULL) idiom with just if (ptr).

[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 347/671] platform/x86: alienware-wmi: printing the wrong error code

[Sasha Levin]

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>

[ Upstream commit 6d1f8b3d75419a8659ac916a1e9543bb3513a882 ]

The "out_data" variable is uninitialized at the point.  Originally, this
used to print "status" instead and that seems like the correct thing to
print.
