From 9fe172b9be532acc23e35ba693700383ab775e66 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roger Quadros Date: Thu, 8 Dec 2016 10:45:31 +0200 Subject: extcon: palmas: Check the parent instance to prevent the NULL extcon-palmas must be child of palmas and expects parent's drvdata to be valid. Check for non NULL parent drvdata and fail if it is NULL. Not doing so will result in a NULL pointer dereference later in the probe() parent drvdata is NULL (e.g. misplaced extcon-palmas node in device tree).
