From: Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprowski@xxxxxxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit 6ae645d5fa385f3787bf1723639cd907fe5865e7 upstream. NULL pointer derefence happens when booting with DTB because the platform data for haptic device is not set in supplied data from parent MFD device. The MFD device creates only platform data (from Device Tree) for itself, not for haptic child. Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000009c pgd = c0004000 [0000009c] *pgd=00000000 Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM (max8997_haptic_probe) from [<c03f9cec>] (platform_drv_probe+0x4c/0xb0) (platform_drv_probe) from [<c03f8440>] (driver_probe_device+0x214/0x2c0) (driver_probe_device) from [<c03f8598>] (__driver_attach+0xac/0xb0) (__driver_attach) from [<c03f67ac>] (bus_for_each_dev+0x68/0x9c) (bus_for_each_dev) from [<c03f7a38>] (bus_add_driver+0x1a0/0x218) (bus_add_driver) from [<c03f8db0>] (driver_register+0x78/0xf8) (driver_register) from [<c0101774>] (do_one_initcall+0x90/0x1d8) (do_one_initcall) from [<c0a00dbc>] (kernel_init_freeable+0x15c/0x1fc) (kernel_init_freeable) from [<c06bb5b4>] (kernel_init+0x8/0x114) (kernel_init) from [<c0107938>] (ret_from_fork+0x14/0x3c) Signed-off-by: Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprowski@xxxxxxxxxxx> Fixes: 104594b01ce7 ("Input: add driver support for MAX8997-haptic") [k.kozlowski: Write commit message, add CC-stable] Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Kozlowski <k.kozlowski@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/input/misc/max8997_haptic.c | 6 ++++-- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/input/misc/max8997_haptic.c b/drivers/input/misc/max8997_haptic.c index e973133212a5..a8c91226cd22 100644 --- a/drivers/input/misc/max8997_haptic.c +++ b/drivers/input/misc/max8997_haptic.c @@ -246,12 +246,14 @@ static int max8997_haptic_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) struct max8997_dev *iodev = dev_get_drvdata(pdev->dev.parent); const struct max8997_platform_data *pdata = dev_get_platdata(iodev->dev); - const struct max8997_haptic_platform_data *haptic_pdata = - pdata->haptic_pdata; + const struct max8997_haptic_platform_data *haptic_pdata = NULL; struct max8997_haptic *chip; struct input_dev *input_dev; int error; + if (pdata) + haptic_pdata = pdata->haptic_pdata; + if (!haptic_pdata) { dev_err(&pdev->dev, "no haptic platform data\n"); return -EINVAL; -- 2.8.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
