whole "prefix_node" pointer is bogus. It seems to have the value 0x1000.

Tested also this patch with this result:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51071#c8

So while it's made it pass suspend/resume, it's not really usable
as docking then.

This just makes acpi_ns_lookup() always return acpi_gbl_root_node
for things looked up by acpi_ns_get_node() as far as I can say.

Hmm.

If my theory correct, the patch below should catch the bug. Can you please
test it?


Ok now crashing right after 'undock' button press:
