This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled mfd: max8997: Fix possible NULL pointer dereference on i2c_new_dummy error to the linux-3.11.y-queue branch of the 3.11.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.11.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.11.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 36345e9dde3680393b616edb36008da3ab898e71 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Krzysztof Kozlowski <k.kozlowski@samsung.com> Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2014 11:03:34 +0100 Subject: mfd: max8997: Fix possible NULL pointer dereference on i2c_new_dummy error commit 97dc4ed3fa377ec91bb60ba98b70d645c2099384 upstream. During probe the driver allocates dummy I2C devices for RTC, haptic and MUIC with i2c_new_dummy() but it does not check the return value of this calls. In case of error (i2c_new_device(): memory allocation failure or I2C address cannot be used) this function returns NULL which is later used by i2c_unregister_device(). If i2c_new_dummy() fails for RTC, haptic or MUIC devices, fail also the probe for main MFD driver.
