From 2ef8702257cd0b720b37e1fed3a9f668ec1b9c38 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans Verkuil Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2008 10:50:29 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] i2c: Fix NULL pointer dereference in i2c_new_probed_device Already in Linus' tree: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=b25b791b13aaa336b56c4f9bd417ff126363f80b Fix a NULL pointer dereference that happened when calling i2c_new_probed_device on one of the addresses for which we use byte reads instead of quick write for detection purpose (that is: 0x30-0x37 and 0x50-0x5f).
