Safety check for the validity of the resource name before calling strcmp(). If the resource name is NULL do not compare it, just skip it. Signed-off-by: Peter Ujfalusi <peter.ujfalusi@xxxxxx> --- Hi Greg, I have experienced with a kernel crash because the r->name was NULL when booting OMAP4+ kernel with devicetree. I have sent a separate patch for the OMAP specific root (with analysis of the issue): http://marc.info/?l=linux-omap&m=134573006327647&w=2 I agree that it is unlikely to have the name NULL, but I think it does not hurt if we do a safety check before comparing the strings.
