[PATCH 5.15 53/72] auxdisplay: charlcd: checking for pointer reference before dereferencing

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Luiz Sampaio <sampaio.ime@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 4daa9ff89ef27be43c15995412d6aee393a78200 ]

Check if the pointer lcd->ops->init_display exists before dereferencing it.
If a driver called charlcd_init() without defining the ops, this would
return segmentation fault, as happened to me when implementing a charlcd
driver.  Checking the pointer before dereferencing protects from
segmentation fault.
