[PATCH] tpm: avoid accessing cleared ops during shutdown

From: Andrey Pronin
Date: Thu Jul 09 2020 - 20:22:31 EST


This patch prevents NULL dereferencing when using chip->ops while
sending TPM2_Shutdown command if both tpm_class_shutdown handler and
tpm_del_char_device are called during system shutdown.

Both these handlers set chip->ops to NULL but don't check if it's
already NULL when they are called before using it.

This issue was revealed in Chrome OS after a recent set of changes
to the unregister order for spi controllers, such as:
b4c6230bb0ba spi: Fix controller unregister order
f40913d2dca1 spi: pxa2xx: Fix controller unregister order
and similar for other controllers.
