From: Damien Le Moal <damien.lemoal@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 355a8031dc174450ccad2a61c513ad7222d87a97 ] The loop on entry of ata_host_start() may not initialize host->ops to a non NULL value. The test on the host_stop field of host->ops must then be preceded by a check that host->ops is not NULL.
