4.2.8-ckt11 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
---8<------------------------------------------------------------
From: Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprowski@xxxxxxxxxxx>
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
