The patch spi: spi-fsl-dspi: fix a possible NULL dereference has been applied to the spi tree at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi.git All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted. You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed. If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced. Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail. Thanks, Mark >From 53d89160753c7d32bb82d3bed980fd3dc3f2538a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: LABBE Corentin <clabbe.montjoie@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2016 11:50:21 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] spi: spi-fsl-dspi: fix a possible NULL dereference of_match_device could return NULL, and so cause a NULL pointer dereference later. For fixing this problem, we use of_device_get_match_data(), this will simplify the code a little by using a standard function for getting the match data.
