If sp->info is NULL, we will hit NULL pointer dereference in probe() while setting bus_num and num_chipselect for master: sp->bitbang.master->bus_num = sp->info->bus_num; sp->bitbang.master->num_chipselect = sp->info->num_chipselect; Thus add NULL test for sp->info in probe() to prevent NULL pointer dereference.
