Hi, We got an oops when insmod rtl8192ce module (the board is an ARM soc), accroding the oops message, find it's because in rtl_pci_probe() called _rtl_pci_find_adapter(), in this funcation, the pdev->bus->self is a NULL pointer . static boot _rtl_pci_find_adapter(strcut pci_dev *dev, struct ieee80211_hw *hw) { struct pci_dev *bridge_pdev = pdev->bus->self; //line 1601 ... pcipriv->ndis_adapter.pcibridge_vendorid = bridge_pdev->vendor; <-- [oops here] line 1700 ... } here, I just want to know why the bus->self is NULL?
