From 3735d524da64b70b41c764359da36f88aded3610 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2012 22:06:55 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] intel_idle: Check cpu_idle_get_driver() for NULL before dereferencing it. If the machine is booted without any cpu_idle driver set (b/c disable_cpuidle() has been called) we should follow other users of cpu_idle API and check the return value for NULL before using it.
