[PATCH] rtc: tps65910: Fix potential NULL-pointer dereference

From: Thierry Reding
Date: Tue Aug 05 2014 - 07:35:46 EST


From: Thierry Reding <treding@xxxxxxxxxx>

The interrupt handler gets the driver data associated with the RTC
device and doesn't check it for validity. This can cause a NULL pointer
being dereferenced when and interrupt fires before the driver data was
properly set up.

Fix this by setting the driver data earlier (before the interrupt is
requested).
