Subject: [PATCH 1/2] watchdog: imgpdc: Fix probe NULL pointer dereference
Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2015 23:45:44 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1424475945-30009-2-git-send-email-james.hogan@imgtec.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1424475945-30009-1-git-send-email-james.hogan@imgtec.com>
The IMG PDC watchdog probe function calls pdc_wdt_stop() prior to
watchdog_set_drvdata(), causing a NULL pointer dereference when
pdc_wdt_stop() retrieves the struct pdc_wdt_dev pointer using
watchdog_get_drvdata() and reads the register base address through it.
Fix by moving the watchdog_set_drvdata() call earlier, to where various
other pdc_wdt->wdt_dev fields are initialised.
Fixes: 93937669e9b5 ("watchdog: ImgTec PDC Watchdog Timer Driver")
