----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was trying to open '/dev/ipmi0', but as no entry in aux_dir, it returned
NULL from 'idr_find()'. This drm_dp_aux_dev_get_by_minor() should have done a
check on this, but had failed to do it.

I think the better question is, *why* does the idr_find() return NULL? I
don't think it should, under any circumstances. I fear adding the check
here papers over some other problem, taking us further away from the
root cause.

That's a very good question.

Also, can you reproduce this on a recent upstream kernel? The aux device
nodes were introduced in kernel v4.6. Whatever you reproduced on v3.10
is pretty much irrelevant for upstream.

I will look into this deeper, using the upstream kernel.



BR,
Jani.
