4.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Krzysztof Kozlowski <k.kozlowski@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 7f1a57fdd6cb6e7be2ed31878a34655df38e1861 upstream.
Don't call the power_supply_changed() from power_supply_register() when
parent is still probing because it may lead to accessing parent too
early.
In bq27x00_battery this caused NULL pointer exception because uevent of
power_supply_changed called back the the get_property() method provided
by the driver. The get_property() method accessed pointer which should
be returned by power_supply_register().
Starting from bq27x00_battery_probe():
di->bat = power_supply_register()
power_supply_changed()
kobject_uevent()
power_supply_uevent()
power_supply_show_property()
power_supply_get_property()
bq27x00_battery_get_property()
dereference of di->bat which is NULL here
The dereference of di->bat (value returned by power_supply_register())
is the currently visible problem. However calling back the methods
provided by driver before ending the probe may lead to accessing other
driver-related data which is not yet initialized.
The call to power_supply_changed() is postponed till probing ends -
mutex of parent device is released.
