Commit aa92b6f689ac (gpio / ACPI: Allocate ACPI specific data directly in acpi_gpiochip_add()) moved ACPI handle checking to acpi_gpiochip_add() but forgot to check whether chip->dev is NULL before dereferencing it. Since chip->dev pointer is optional we can end up with crash like following: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000138 IP: [<c126c2b3>] acpi_gpiochip_add+0x13/0x190 *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: ssb(+) ...

Fix this by checking chip->dev pointer against NULL first. Also we can now remove redundant check in acpi_gpiochip_request/free_interrupts(). Reported-by: Sabrina Dubroca <sd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Mika Westerberg <mika.westerberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Sabrina, Can you please re-test this and provide your tested-by? I changed the patch a bit to remove redundant checks. Just to be sure that I don't accidentally break something.
