This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled pwm: img: Fix null pointer access in probe to the 5.8-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: pwm-img-fix-null-pointer-access-in-probe.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.8 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 931f7336c350fe83b59698721fc8f963eecee255 Author: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Aug 20 19:14:25 2020 +0200 pwm: img: Fix null pointer access in probe [ Upstream commit b39c0615d0667b3a6f2f5c4bf99ffadf3b518bb1 ] dev_get_drvdata() is called in img_pwm_runtime_resume() before the driver data is set. When pm_runtime_enabled() returns false in img_pwm_probe() it calls img_pwm_runtime_resume() which results in a null pointer access. This patch fixes the problem by setting the driver data earlier in the img_pwm_probe() function. This crash was seen when booting the Imagination Technologies Creator Ci40 (Marduk) with kernel 5.4 in OpenWrt.
