The patch regulator: fix crash caused by null driver data has been applied to the regulator tree at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regulator.git All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted. You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed. If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced. Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail. Thanks, Mark >From fb6de923ca3358a91525552b4907d4cb38730bdd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yu Zhao <yuzhao@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2018 15:30:51 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] regulator: fix crash caused by null driver data dev_set_drvdata() needs to be called before device_register() exposes device to userspace. Otherwise kernel crashes after it gets null pointer from dev_get_drvdata() when userspace tries to access sysfs entries.
