[PATCH 3.2 004/152] [media] af9005: fix kernel panic on init if compiled without IR

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Mon Feb 16 2015 - 21:47:28 EST

3.2.67-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Frank Schaefer <fschaefer.oss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 2279948735609d0d17d7384e776b674619f792ef upstream.

This patches fixes an ancient bug in the dvb_usb_af9005 driver, which
has been reported at least in the following threads:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/4/350
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/18/558

If the driver is compiled in without any IR support (neither
DVB_USB_AF9005_REMOTE nor custom symbols), the symbol_request calls in
af9005_usb_module_init() return pointers != NULL although the IR
symbols are not available.

This leads to the following oops:

The prefered fix would be to convert the whole IR code to use the kernel IR
infrastructure (which wasn't available at the time this driver had been created).

Until anyone who still has this old hardware steps up an does the conversion,
fix it by not calling the symbol_request calls if the driver is compiled in
without the default IR symbols (CONFIG_DVB_USB_AF9005_REMOTE).
Due to the IR related pointers beeing NULL by default, IR support will then be disabled.

The downside of this solution is, that it will no longer be possible to
compile custom IR symbols (not using CONFIG_DVB_USB_AF9005_REMOTE) in.

Please note that this patch has NOT been tested with all possible cases.
I don't have the hardware and could only verify that it fixes the reported
bug.
