iwlwifi: fix kernel crash when unregistering thermal zone

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

 



A recent firmware change seems to have enabled thermal zones on the
iwlwifi driver. Unfortunately, my device fails when registering the
thermal zone. This doesn't stop the driver from attempting to unregister
the thermal zone at unload time, triggering a NULL pointer deference in
strlen() off the thermal_zone_device_unregister() path.

Don't unregister if name is NULL, for that case we failed registering.
Do the same for the cooling zone.

Would be great if this could go into the current series, as sometimes I
have to reload the driver. Right now I can't, since it crashes...
