I've stumbled upon a kernel crash and the logs
pointed me towards the lp5562 driver:
> <4>[306013.841294] lp5562 0-0030: Direct firmware load for lp5562 failed with error -2
> <4>[306013.894990] lp5562 0-0030: Falling back to user helper
> ...
> <3>[306073.924886] lp5562 0-0030: firmware request failed
> <1>[306073.939456] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
> <4>[306074.251011] PC is at _raw_spin_lock+0x1c/0x58
> <4>[306074.255539] LR is at release_firmware+0x6c/0x138
> ...
After taking a look I noticed firmware_release()
could be called with either NULL or a dangling
pointer.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
