Subject: [PATCH] serial: pl011: protect attribute read from NULL platform data struct
Date: Thu,  9 May 2013 13:50:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1368103855-28363-1-git-send-email-lee.jones@linaro.org> (raw)

It's completely feasible that platform data will be empty i.e. when
booting with Device Tree with no device AUXDATA. So we must protect
it's use in these use-cases, or risk a kernel Oops.
