[PATCH 12/13] platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: advance elem past consumed array elements in order-list-attributes

Message-ID <[email protected]>
Same defect as the companion fix to enum-attributes.c in this series:
the PREREQUISITES case consumes "size" consecutive ACPI package
elements via elem + reqs, but the outer loop only advances "elem" by
one per iteration, causing the next iteration to misread a leftover
prerequisite entry as the next property and abort the parse with
-EIO on the resulting type mismatch.

Fix by advancing "elem" by (size - 1) after the loop.
