If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ [ Upstream commit ababb08938df7ac245d30a58b95b94ecf8dc04fc ] Since commit e2474541032d ("bcm2835: Fix hang for writing messages larger than 16 bytes") the interrupt handler is prone to a possible NULL pointer dereference. This could happen if an interrupt fires before curr_msg is set by bcm2835_i2c_xfer_msg() and randomly occurs on the RPi 3. Even this is an unexpected behavior the driver must handle that with an error instead of a crash.
