Commit b01a4f1c (mmc: omap: convert to per instance workqueue) initializes the workqueue too late causing the following: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 pgd = c0004000 [00000000] *pgd=00000000 Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] SMP ARM Modules linked in: CPU: 0 Not tainted (3.4.0-08218-gb48b2c3 #158) PC is at __queue_work+0x8/0x46c LR is at queue_work_on+0x38/0x40 pc : [<c005bb4c>] lr : [<c005c00c>] psr: 60000193 sp : c0691e1c ip : 00000000 fp : c07374ac r10: c7aae400 r9 : c0395700 r8 : 00000100 r7 : c0691e70 r6 : 00000000 r5 : 00000000 r4 : c7aae440 r3 : 00000001 r2 : c7aae440 r1 : 00000000 r0 : 00000000 Flags: nZCv IRQs off FIQs on Mode SVC_32 ISA ARM Segment kernel Control: 00c5387d Table: 80004000 DAC: 00000017 Process swapper/0 (pid: 0, stack limit = 0xc06902f8) Stack: (0xc0691e1c to 0xc0692000) Fix this by initializing the workqueue before mmc_omap_remove_slot() get called. Tested on n770, looks like n800 at least still has some other issue with MMC.
