Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: (max1111) Return -ENODEV from max1111_read_channel if not instantiated
Date: Sat, 26 Mar 2016 12:52:15 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1459021935-30587-1-git-send-email-linux@roeck-us.net> (raw)

arm:pxa_defconfig can result in the following crash if the max1111 driver
is not instantiated.

Unhandled fault: page domain fault (0x01b) at 0x00000000

This can occur because the SPI controller driver (SPI_PXA2XX) is built as
module and thus not necessarily loaded. While building SPI_PXA2XX into the
kernel would make the problem disappear, it appears prudent to ensure that
the driver is instantiated before accessing its data structures.

The means to read voltages from outside the driver seems broken,
but that is a different issue.
