Hi All, Came across this when my camera driver failed to load.. Following causes a kernel panic. Set up link between cdcc and ccdc output to memory. (at this point intitializing a capture gives an invalid arguement error which is fine.) Now set the format on ISP CCDC/0 to SGRBG10 752x480 (doubt what these settings are actually matters). Actually come to think of it, this may only be relevant as otherwise, the format of my attempted stream setup from userspace doesn't matter. Blithely attempt to grab frames from userspace off the ccdc output. (note it has no input.) Null pointer exception occurs because: pad = media_entity_remote_source(&ccdc->pads[CCDC_PAD_SINK]); in static void ccdc_configure(struct isp_ccdc_device *ccdc) returns null and this is not checked. Obvious local fix is to check the value of pad and allow ccdc_configure to return an error + pass this up out of ccdc_set_stream. Something like the following does the trick. (not sure error code is right choice!) Patch is against todays linux-next + a few unconnected things to make that tree actually build for the beagle xm. Grep isn't indicating any exactly matching cases to this problem, so the rest of the tree may be fine. [PATCH] omap3isp: check if there is actually a source for ispccdc when setting up the link. Without this if no source actually exists and the ccdc is configured to output to memory, a read from userspace will cause a null pointer exception.
