> [PATCH] fbdev/xen-fbfront: Assign fb_info->device
>
> Probing xen-fbfront faults in video_is_primary_device().  The passed-in
> struct device is NULL since xen-fbfront doesn't assign it and the
> memory is kzalloc()-ed.  Assign fb_info->device to avoid this.
>
> This was exposed by the conversion of fb_is_primary_device() to
> video_is_primary_device() which dropped a NULL check for struct device.
>
> Fixes: f178e96de7f0 ("arch: Remove struct fb_info from video helpers")
> CC: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

> The other option would be to re-instate the NULL check in
