If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b0fa05a4553ffb5c10823744dc713d9d3b9e0560 Author: Miaoqian Lin <linmq006@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Apr 4 14:38:40 2022 +0000 serial: 8250_aspeed_vuart: Fix potential NULL dereference in aspeed_vuart_probe [ Upstream commit 0e0fd55719fa081de6f9e5d9e6cef48efb04d34a ] platform_get_resource() may fail and return NULL, so we should better check it's return value to avoid a NULL pointer dereference.
