[PATCH 4.14 093/137] regulator: fix crash caused by null driver data
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Oct 02 2018 - 09:49:47 EST
4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Yu Zhao <yuzhao@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit fb6de923ca3358a91525552b4907d4cb38730bdd upstream.
dev_set_drvdata() needs to be called before device_register()
exposes device to userspace. Otherwise kernel crashes after it
gets null pointer from dev_get_drvdata() when userspace tries
to access sysfs entries.
[Removed backtrace for length -- broonie]
