[PATCH 5.11 190/254] platform/x86: dell-wmi-sysman: Fix possible NULL pointer deref on exit
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Mar 29 2021 - 05:01:44 EST
From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit c59ab4cedab70a1a117a2dba3c48bb78e66c55ca ]
It is possible for release_attributes_data() to get called when the
main_dir_kset has not been created yet, move the removal of the bios-reset
sysfs attr to under a if (main_dir_kset) check to avoid a NULL pointer
deref.
Fixes: e8a60aa7404b ("platform/x86: Introduce support for Systems Management Driver over WMI for Dell Systems")
