[PATCH] EDAC, MCE, AMD: Fix code to prevent NULL dereference
From: Aravind Gopalakrishnan
Date: Mon Feb 17 2014 - 13:08:16 EST
If MCE decoding support does not exist for a particular family/model,
and if one tries to inject errors using mce_amd_inj module, it leads
to kernel OOPS. Especially if we inject errors to MC0, MC1, MC2 banks.
Sample:

In this patch, we fix the bug by checking if fam_ops struct has been
alloc-ed before we proceed with fam/model specific decoding.
