From 85151461f114f2fca386bb8ae6de185461d35d87 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Trimarchi Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2014 20:38:09 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: fsl_ssi: fix kernel panic in probe function code can raise a panic when the ssi_private->pdev is null [...] /* * If codec-handle property is missing from SSI node, we assume * that the machine driver uses new binding which does not require * SSI driver to trigger machine driver's probe. */ if (!of_get_property(np, "codec-handle", NULL)) goto done; [...] ssi_private->pdev = platform_device_register_data(&pdev->dev, name, 0, NULL, 0); [...] done: if (ssi_private->dai_fmt) _fsl_ssi_set_dai_fmt(ssi_private, ssi_private->dai_fmt); Proposal was to not use ssi_private->pdev->dev here but adding a new parameter of *dev pointer to this _set_dai_fmt() -- passing pdev->dev in probe() and cpu_dai->dev in fsl_ssi_set_dai_fmt().
