Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y 3/5] i2c: core: fix NULL-deref on adapter registration failure
Date: Sun,  5 Jul 2026 15:06:10 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260705190612.1987801-3-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260705190612.1987801-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 2295d2bb101faa663fbc45fadbb3fec45f107441 ]

If adapter registration ever fails the release callback would trigger a
NULL-pointer dereference as the completion struct has not been
initialised.

Note that before the offending commit this would instead have resulted
in a minor memory leak of the adapter name.
