Subject: [37/46] macintosh: Dont assume i2c device probing always succeeds
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2009 10:10:30 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091016171206.189773932@linux.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20091016171422.GA13339@kroah.com>

[-- Attachment #1: macintosh-don-t-assume-i2c-device-probing-always-succeeds.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4265 bytes --]

2.6.31-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

commit 6f6b35e133fe4313277b30fc1a7ea313875ea6c9 upstream.

If i2c device probing fails, then there is no driver to dereference
after calling i2c_new_device(). Stop assuming that probing will always
succeed, to avoid NULL pointer dereferences. We have an easier access
to the driver anyway.
