Subject: [PATCH] platform/x86: alienware-wmi-wmax: Fix null pointer derefence in sleep handlers
Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2025 00:21:05 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251013-sleep-fix-v1-1-92bc11b6ecae@gmail.com> (raw)
Initialize `awcc` with empty quirks to avoid a null pointer dereference
in sleep handlers for devices without the AWCC interface.
This also allows some code simplification in alienware_wmax_wmi_init().
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
