Below Oops is caused in a system which uses ACPI instead of device node: of_get_named_gpiod_flags: can't parse 'maxim,reset-gpio' property of node '(null)[0]' BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000010 This patch avoids NULL pointer deferencing by adding a check before parsing and initializes to make reset-gpio pin as invalid.
