Commit "i2c: core: make it possible to match a pure device tree driver"
changed semantics of the i2c probing for device tree devices.
Device tree probed devices now get a NULL i2c_device_id pointer.
This caused kernel panics due to NULL dereference.

That over-writes pmic_plat_data even if it was already set above. This
should really only happen if the earlier assignment didn't find any
pdata, i.e. if (!pmic_plat_data) here.

Looking at patch 2/2, the structure in that driver is correct, and
perhaps could be implemented the same or similarly here?

Or just swap those assignments:

of_pmic_plat_data = tps65910_parse_dt(...);
if (!pmic_plat_data)
    pmic_plat_data = of_pmic_plat_data;

(although there's perhaps little point parsing the pdata from DT if it's
already provided through the device object)

(although I imagine I'd need to retest if there was a v2 to address my
previous comments)

I would prefer seeing a v2, especially to address the pmic_plat_data
overwriting issue.

Cheers,
Samuel.

That would cause the probe() to fail since it doesn't have a chip_id.

This seems to be the best way, I'll change it that way.

Yeah, especially since tps65910_parse_dt can dev_warn().
