[PATCH] hwmon: (w83627ehf) fix broken driver init

From: Guenter Roeck
Date: Sat Nov 05 2011 - 10:58:05 EST


Commit 2265cef2 (hwmon: (w83627ehf) Properly report PECI and AMD-SI
sensor types) results in kernel panic if data->temp_label was not
initialized.
The problem was found with chip W83627DHG-P.

Add check if data->temp->label was set before use.

Based on incomplete patch by Alexander Beregalov.
