[PATCH] power: max17040: Fix NULL pointer dereference when there is noplatform_data

From: Krzysztof Kozlowski
Date: Thu Jan 30 2014 - 08:33:11 EST


Fix NULL pointer dereference of "chip->pdata" if platform_data was not
supplied to the driver.

The driver during probe stored the pointer to the platform_data:
chip->pdata = client->dev.platform_data;
Later it was dereferenced in max17040_get_online() and
max17040_get_status().

If platform_data was not supplied, the NULL pointer exception would
happen:
