In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: platform_profile: Avoid initializing on non-ACPI platforms
The platform profile driver is loaded even on platforms that do not have
ACPI enabled. The initialization of the sysfs entries was recently moved
from platform_profile_register() to the module init call, and those
entries need acpi_kobj to be initialized which is not the case when ACPI
is disabled.
This results in the following warning:
WARNING: CPU: 5 PID: 1 at fs/sysfs/group.c:131 internal_create_group+0xa22/0xdd8

Fix this by checking if ACPI is enabled before trying to create sysfs
entries.
