The power_supply_get_by_phandle() on error returns ENODEV or NULL. The driver later expects obtained pointer to power supply to be valid or NULL. If it is not NULL then it dereferences it in bq2415x_notifier_call() which would lead to dereferencing ENODEV-value pointer. Properly handle the power_supply_get_by_phandle() error case by replacing error value with NULL. This indicates that usb charger detection won't be used. Fix also memory leak of 'name' if power_supply_get_by_phandle() fails with NULL and probe should defer. Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Kozlowski <k.kozlowski@xxxxxxxxxxx> Fixes: faffd234cf85 ("bq2415x_charger: Add DT support") Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Changes since v1: 1. Fix memory leak in probe defer (goto error_2) (suggested by Sebastian Reichel). 2. Don't fail the probe if 'ti,usb-charger-detection' is not present. Just print message. --- drivers/power/bq2415x_charger.c | 11 +++++++++-- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/power/bq2415x_charger.c b/drivers/power/bq2415x_charger.c index e384844a1ae1..edf945a5260f 100644 --- a/drivers/power/bq2415x_charger.c +++ b/drivers/power/bq2415x_charger.c @@ -1579,8 +1579,15 @@ static int bq2415x_probe(struct i2c_client *client, if (np) { bq->notify_psy = power_supply_get_by_phandle(np, "ti,usb-charger-detection"); - if (!bq->notify_psy) - return -EPROBE_DEFER; + if (IS_ERR(bq->notify_psy)) { + bq->notify_psy = NULL; + dev_info(&client->dev, + "no 'ti,usb-charger-detection' property (err=%ld)\n", + PTR_ERR(bq->notify_psy)); + } else if (!bq->notify_psy) { + ret = -EPROBE_DEFER; + goto error_2; + } } else if (pdata->notify_device) bq->notify_psy = power_supply_get_by_name(pdata->notify_device); -- 1.9.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
