Subject: [PATCH 1/2] serial: PL011: Repair NULL pointer dereference
Date: Mon, 2 Apr 2012 15:31:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1333377064-8093-1-git-send-email-lee.jones@linaro.org> (raw)
The pl011 driver attempts to mask and clear UART interrupts
at probe time, which subsequently fail with a NULL pointer
dereference error. This is due to 'uap->port.membase' being
used uninitialised. This patch moves the offending lines
to a point of post-initialisation.
