[PATCH] serial: 8250_fintek: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Fix potential NULL pointer dereference on
'commit 4da22f1418cb ("serial: 8250_fintek: fix the mismatched IRQ mode")'

We try to fix IRQ mode mismatch issue and add the following code to
detect IRQ Level or Edge mode.

struct irq_data *irq_data = irq_get_irq_data(uart->port.irq);
bool level_mode = irqd_is_level_type(irq_data);

But *irq_data had not any check and pass to irqd_is_level_type(),
it may lead to potential NULL pointer dereference.

Also modify detecting IRQ mode when fintek chip found.
