Hi,
At this point I do not have the hardware.
NULL pointer deference is observed in the wilc1000.ko module on x86 target
with bus type SPI and when SPI is not ready. Following are the steps to
reproduce.
$ sudo insmod drivers/staging/wilc1000/wilc1000.ko
$ sudo ifconfig wlan1 up
wlan1 in the above command is the device controlled by 'wilc1000.ko'.
Though the target I tested is not built to support WILC1000, my test
scenario can be treated as a case where in SPI is not working or WILC1000
is not connected to the supported hardware.
I think I know a fix (pasted below) to this but cannot test it because hardware
is not available to test positive cases.
Thanks,
chandra
