[PATCH 4.15 025/168] gpiolib: dont dereference a desc before validation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Vladimir Zapolskiy <vz@xxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit 30322bcf82d74cad0d6e1cf9ba7fa7fa48c7a026 ]

The fix restores a proper validation of an input gpio desc, which
might be needed to deal with optional GPIOs correctly.

Fixes: 02e479808b5d ("gpio: Alter semantics of *raw* operations to actually be raw")
