Commit e93650994a95 ("usb: phy: mxs: add usb charger type detection") causes the following kernel hang on i.MX28: [ 2.207973] usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage [ 2.235659] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000188 [ 2.244195] pgd = (ptrval) [ 2.246994] [00000188] *pgd=00000000 [ 2.250676] Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] ARM [ 2.254979] Modules linked in: [ 2.258089] CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper Not tainted 4.15.0-rc8-next-20180117-00002-g75d5f21 #7 [ 2.266724] Hardware name: Freescale MXS (Device Tree) [ 2.271921] PC is at regmap_read+0x0/0x5c [ 2.275977] LR is at mxs_phy_charger_detect+0x34/0x1dc mxs_phy_charger_detect() makes accesses to the anatop registers via regmap, however i.MX23/28 do not have such registers, which causes a NULL pointer dereference. Fix the issue by doing a NULL check on the 'regmap' pointer.
