acpi_pcc_probe() calls acpi_table_parse_entries_array() but fails
to check for an error return. This in turn can result in calling
kcalloc() with a negative count as well as emitting the following
misleading erorr message:
[ 2.642015] Could not allocate space for PCC mbox channels
Fixes: 8f8027c5f9 (mailbox: PCC: erroneous error message when parsing ACPI PCCT)

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.
