This is not the right way to fix the bug. The code already contains a test on line 938: if (lba >= info->max_log_blks) { If this test fails, the driver doesn't try to dereference info->lba_to_pba. The problem is that info->max_log_blks may be set even though info->lba_to_pba is NULL, because the READ_CAPACITY case in sddr55_transport() doesn't check the return code from sddr55_read_map(). _That_ is what needs to be fixed.
