[PATCH] [116/139] watchdog: Fix null pointer dereference while accessing rdc321x platform_data

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Tue Feb 01 2011 - 19:51:04 EST


2.6.35-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------
From: Florian Fainelli <florian@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 3b3c1f24e96c411a95daabb6af9e09c5381f713b upstream.

rdc321x-wdt currently fetches its driver specific data by using the
platform_device->platform_data pointer, this is wrong because the mfd
device which registers our platform_device has been added using
mfd_add_device() which sets the platform_device->driver_data pointer
instead.
