[PATCH 08/13] platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: fix ORD_LIST_ELEMENTS never being parsed

The ACPI_TYPE_STRING case explicitly skips the string conversion for
elem == ORD_LIST_ELEMENTS:
if (elem != PREREQUISITES && elem != ORD_LIST_ELEMENTS) {
ret = hp_convert_hexstr_to_str(..., &str_value, &value_len);
if (ret)
continue;
}
so by the time the ORD_LIST_ELEMENTS case in the eloc switch runs,
str_value is NULL (it was freed and reset to NULL at the end of the
previous iteration). That case then does:
ret = hp_convert_hexstr_to_str(str_value, value_len, &tmpstr, &tmp_len);
hp_convert_hexstr_to_str() rejects a NULL input with -EINVAL, which
sends this function to exit_list, and exit_list unconditionally
returns 0. The net effect is that any ordered-list attribute with
elements present silently ends up with an empty elements list, with no
error surfaced anywhere.
Fix by converting the current element directly, order_obj[elem], the
same way the PREREQUISITES case already handles its own array
elements, instead of reusing the unrelated str_value/value_len left
over from earlier processing.
