Hi,

I'm hitting this BUG as the last thing during shutdown:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000002d8
IP: [<ffffffff814ab60d>] cpuidle_play_dead+0x1d/0xb0


It's because drv is NULL. The problem is gone if I do this:
--- a/drivers/cpuidle/cpuidle.c
+++ b/drivers/cpuidle/cpuidle.c
@@ -83,6 +83,11 @@ int cpuidle_play_dead(void)
        int i, dead_state = -1;
        int power_usage = -1;

+       if (!drv) {
+               printk("DRIVER IS NULL\n");
+               return -ENODEV;
+       }
+
        /* Find lowest-power state that supports long-term idle */
        for (i = CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START; i < drv->state_count; i++) {
                struct cpuidle_state *s = &drv->states[i];

thanks,
