However the concerning operations pointer my already be NULL at ~~ may What is "concerniog operations"? Unfamiliar term. Maybe just consistently se chip->ops? Now you have also "tpm_chip operations" and chip->ops, in addition to "concerning operations" in one paragraph commit message. > this time in case that the chip has been unregistered (see > tpm_chip_unregister() which calls tpm_del_char_device() which sets > chip->ops to NULL). > Before accessing chip->ops check if it is still valid.
