If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit fec5a08e50d2643a60630ca67c32799a315d75f5 Author: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun May 23 00:50:41 2021 +0200 power: supply: ab8500: Avoid NULL pointers [ Upstream commit 5bcb5087c9dd3dca1ff0ebd8002c5313c9332b56 ] Sometimes the code will crash because we haven't enabled AC or USB charging and thus not created the corresponding psy device. Fix it by checking that it is there before notifying.
