Re: [git bisect regression 3.15-rc1] NULL ptr deref in ichx_gpio_probe

A tad more information. I did a build of-rc1 with the GPIO_ICH module built in so I could use addr2line to help you run it down. No idea if this is actually useful for you...

$ addr2line --inline --exe=vmlinux ffffffff813fc4e0
/storage/kernel/ichx-rebase/drivers/gpio/gpio-ich.c:388
/storage/kernel/ichx-rebase/drivers/gpio/gpio-ich.c:461
