Subject: [PATCH] Input: gpio_keys - fix NULL pointer dereference for dt case
Date: Fri, 3 Aug 2012 10:41:54 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1344001314-2250-1-git-send-email-fabio.estevam@freescale.com> (raw)

Commit 30161f6b2e7d1 (Input: gpio_keys - clean up device tree parser) 
introduced the following kernel crash for a dt based kernel:
..
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000004
pgd = 80004000
[00000004] *pgd=00000000

....

The reason for the crash was due to 'button = &pdata->buttons[i++];' 
returning a NULL pointer, and then 'button' was accessed afterwards 
without checking for NULL.

Fix this by correctly assigning 'pdata->buttons' and also add a NULL 
pointer check for 'button' pointer.
