This patch splits the initialization of the label data into two functions. One for doing the init, and another for reading the actual configuration data. The idea behind this is that by doing this we create a symmetry between the getting and setting of config data in that we have a function for both. In addition it will make it easier for us to identify the bits that are related to init versus the pieces that are a wrapper for reading data from the ACPI interface. So for example by splitting things out like this it becomes much more obvious that we were performing checks that weren't necessarily related to the set/get operations such as relying on ndd->data being present when the set and get ops should not care about a locally cached copy of the label area.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
