5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Denis Arefev arefev@swemel.ru
commit 6c683c6887e4addcd6bd1ddce08cafccb0a21e32 upstream.
The value returned by acpi_evaluate_integer() is not checked, but the result is not always successful, so it is necessary to add a check of the returned value.
If the result remains negative during three iterations of the loop, then the uninitialized variable 'val' will be used in the clamp_val() macro, so it must be initialized with the current value of the 'curr' variable.
In this case, the algorithm should be less noisy.
