Subject: [PATCHv2 3/3] watchdog: sama5d4: fix NULL deref in irq handler
Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2026 13:09:33 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260608200933.18669-4-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260608200933.18669-1-rosenp@gmail.com>
Move platform_set_drvdata() before devm_request_irq() so that the
interrupt handler can safely dereference the driver data via
platform_get_drvdata(). An interrupt on the shared System IRQ line
(SAM9X60/SAM9X7) could fire between request_irq and the late
platform_set_drvdata() call, causing the handler to dereference NULL.
