Subject: [PATCH 2/3] watchdog: imgpdc: Fix probe NULL pointer dereference
Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2016 23:43:39 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161117224340.7908-2-fernando@gluegarage.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20161117224340.7908-1-fernando@gluegarage.com>

From: James Hogan <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.
