Subject: [PATCH v1 2/2] sonypi: Check ACPI_COMPANION() against NULL at probe time
Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 18:20:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5087721.GXAFRqVoOG@rafael.j.wysocki> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <6283162.lOV4Wx5bFT@rafael.j.wysocki>
From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
Every platform driver can be forced to match a device that doesn't match
its list of device IDs because of device_match_driver_override(), so
platform drivers that rely on the existence of a device's ACPI companion
object need to verify its presence.
Accordingly, add a requisite ACPI_COMPANION() check against NULL to the
sonypi driver.
Fixes: 7e488b0af021 ("sonypi: Convert ACPI driver to a platform one")
