From 094e47e9fa79e28f0e51e37400ea6eea35a4ee1f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hiroshi DOYU Date: Fri, 11 May 2012 11:03:09 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] Driver Core: don't oops with unregistered driver in driver_find_device() driver_find_device() can be called with an unregistered driver. Need to check driver_private to see if it's populated or not, especially under deferrable probe. In the case that there are 2 drivers, one depends on the other. With -EPROBE_DEFER, two drivers can use deferred probe to ensure that their relative probe order doesn't matter. If dependee driver is probed first, then the dependant's driver_find_device('dependee') succeeds. If the dependant is probed first, then the dependant's driver_find_device('dependee') should return NULL, and the dependant should get -EPROBE_DEFER. driver_find_device() needs to return NULL if it's not populated. In [PATCHv5 2/3] ARM: tegra: Add SMMU enabler in AHB: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.tegra/4658 "tegra_ahb_driver" may not be populated when it's called.
