In principle, it should be valid to pass NULL as the ACPI device pointer to acpi_device_get_power() and acpi_device_set_power() and they both are expected to return -EINVAL in that case, but that has been broken recently by commit62fcb99bdf("ACPI: Drop parent field from struct acpi_device") which has caused the ACPI device pointer to be dereferenced in these functions before the NULL check. Fix that and while at it make acpi_device_set_power() only use the parent field if the target ACPI device object's ignore_parent flag in not set.

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.
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.
