Re: [PATCH] sc16is7xx: null ptr check

Hi

Yes i did :-)

Here you can see code snippet of the dtb that triggered the NULL pointer dereference:
    sc16is750@1 {
        compatible = "sc16is750";
        spi-max-frequency = <2000000>;
        reg = <1>;
        clocks = <&clk14m>;
        interrupt-parent = <&gpio7>;
        interrupts = <5 2>;
    }

And what my dtb should have looked like:
    sc16is750@1 {
        compatible = "nxp,sc16is750";
        spi-max-frequency = <2000000>;
        reg = <1>;
        clocks = <&clk14m>;
        interrupt-parent = <&gpio7>;
        interrupts = <5 2>;
    }

Implemented check and if NULL then returning -ENODEV.

Did you see a problem here? I wonder if this can ever trigger. In the
commit log you wrote "If a wrong compatible flag in specified, ...", but
then the probe function isn't called at all, is it?

  		devtype = (struct sc16is7xx_devtype *)of_id->data;
  	} else {
Maybe the better fix is to remove the same if in the i2c probe routine?

Best regards
Uwe
