[PATCH] gpio / ACPI: Don't crash on NULL chip->dev

From: Mika Westerberg
Date: Mon Mar 31 2014 - 08:17:05 EST


Commit aa92b6f689ac (gpio / ACPI: Allocate ACPI specific data directly in
acpi_gpiochip_add()) moved ACPI handle checking to acpi_gpiochip_add() but
forgot to check whether chip->dev is NULL before dereferencing it.

Since chip->dev pointer is optional we can end up with crash like following:

Fix this by checking chip->dev pointer against NULL first. Also we can now
remove redundant check in acpi_gpiochip_request/free_interrupts().

Sabrina,

Can you please re-test this and provide your tested-by? I changed the patch
a bit to remove redundant checks. Just to be sure that I don't accidentally
break something.

Thanks.
