From: Yongbae Park <yongbae2@xxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit 7b8f10da3bf1056546133c9f54f49ce389fd95ab ] The initialisation of the efm32 clocksource first sets up the irq and only after that initialises the data needed for irq handling. In case this initialisation is delayed the irq handler would dereference a NULL pointer. I'm not aware of anything that could delay the process in such a way, but it's better to be safe than sorry, so setup the irq only when the clock event device is ready.
