[PATCH 4.4 125/342] coresight: checking for NULL string in coresight_name_match()
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Mar 01 2016 - 20:12:40 EST
4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Mathieu Poirier <mathieu.poirier@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit fadf3a44e974b030e7145218ad1ab25e3ef91738 upstream.
Connection child names associated to ports can sometimes be NULL,
which is the case when booting a system on QEMU or when the Coresight
power domain isn't switched on.
This patch is adding a check to make sure a NULL string isn't fed
to strcmp(), something that avoid crashing the system.
