Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2017 11:19:46 +0100 Message-Id: <20171128100426.211165330@linuxfoundation.org> In-Reply-To: <20171128100420.274075224@linuxfoundation.org> References: <20171128100420.274075224@linuxfoundation.org> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: 3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Brent Taylor commit 30863e38ebeb500a31cecee8096fb5002677dd9b upstream. When mtdoops calls mtd_panic_write(), it eventually calls panic_nand_write() in nand_base.c. In order to properly wait for the nand chip to be ready in panic_nand_wait(), the chip must first be selected. When using the atmel nand flash controller, a panic would occur due to a NULL pointer exception.
