Subject: [PATCH] gpio: Initialize gc->irq.domain before setting gc->to_irq
Date: Tue,  9 Nov 2021 03:11:48 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211108214148.9724-1-shreeya.patel@collabora.com> (raw)

There is a race in registering of gc->irq.domain when
probing the I2C driver.
This sometimes leads to a Kernel NULL pointer dereference
in gpiochip_to_irq function which uses the domain variable.

To avoid this issue, set gc->to_irq after domain is
initialized. This will make sure whenever gpiochip_to_irq
is called, it has domain already initialized.

Following is the NULL pointer dereference Oops for reference :-
