[ Upstream commit ab930483eca9f3e816c35824b5868599af0c61d7 ]
While analysing code for software and OF node for the corner case when caller asks to read zero items in the supposed to be an array of values I found that ACPI behaves differently to what OF does, i.e.
1. It returns -EINVAL when caller asks to read zero items from integer array, while OF returns 0, if no other errors happened.
2. It returns -EINVAL when caller asks to read zero items from string array, while OF returns -ENODATA, if no other errors happened.
Amend ACPI implementation to follow what OF does.
