From 43c523bff7c3b47506d536c10637be8399dfd85f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tomasz Figa Date: Fri, 24 May 2013 15:55:35 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] drivers/rtc/rtc-max8998.c: check for pdata presence before dereferencing Currently the driver can crash with a NULL pointer dereference if no pdata is provided, despite of successful registration of the MFD part. This patch fixes the problem by adding a NULL check before dereferencing the pdata pointer.
