Commit f20aaba9819d0801fb1314363f97239da0100bac ("acer-wmi: fix obj is
NULL but dereferenced") introduced a GCC warning:
drivers/platform/x86/acer-wmi.c: In function ‘acer_wmi_init’:
drivers/platform/x86/acer-wmi.c:1216:14: warning: ‘devices’ may be used
uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
drivers/platform/x86/acer-wmi.c:1193:6: note: ‘devices’ was declared here
GCC is correct. In WMID_set_capabilities() there are now clearly codepaths
that use 'devices' uninitialized. (WMID_set_capabilities() is apparently
inlined in acer_wmi_init().) Previously that couldn't happen. So rework
the code to use the previous logic, but also make sure 'obj' will not be
dereferenced while NULL.
