Hello linux community expert: Q: What is causing driver_data to be NULL? And what protects it from happening right after you check for it? A: This is a very in-depth question, and I need to have a deeper understanding of the code before I can answer it. Judging from the crash stack, this patch currently has improved the crash problem.
