From b9ca3dd22e63b9ab1f069a2b25234d55986d1054 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Krzysztof Kozlowski Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2014 11:03:29 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mfd: 88pm860x: Fix possible NULL pointer dereference on i2c_new_dummy error commit 159ce52a6b777fc82fa0b51c7440e25f9e4c6feb upstream. During probe the driver allocates dummy I2C device for companion chip with i2c_new_dummy() but it does not check the return value of this call. In case of error (i2c_new_device(): memory allocation failure or I2C address cannot be used) this function returns NULL which is later used by regmap_init_i2c(). If i2c_new_dummy() fails for companion device, fail also the probe for main MFD driver.
