[PATCH 1/4] extcon: usb-gpio: register extcon device before IRQ registration

From: Robert Baldyga
Date: Tue Mar 31 2015 - 03:46:55 EST


IRQ handler touches info->edev, so if interrupt occurs before extcon
device initialization it can cause NULL pointer dereference. Doing extcon
initialization before IRQ handler registration fixes this problem.
