[PATCH] can: mcp251x: Fix resume from sleep before interface was brought up

From: Schrempf Frieder
Date: Tue May 04 2021 - 12:02:05 EST


Since 8ce8c0abcba3 the driver queues work via priv->restart_work when
resuming after suspend, even when the interface was not previously
enabled. This causes a null dereference error as the workqueue is
only allocated and initialized in mcp251x_open().

To fix this we move the workqueue init to mcp251x_can_probe() as
there is no reason to do it later and repeat it whenever
mcp251x_open() is called.

Fixes: 8ce8c0abcba3 ("can: mcp251x: only reset hardware as required")
