Sorry for the mistake. I haven't considered callers from other than sysfs.
I'm fine to reverting both *two*.

If we are interesting in the sysfs_emit conversion one, i cooked(see the attachment)
a patch to revert "firewire: Kill unnecessary buf check in device_attribute.show" only.

(Feel free to ignore it if you have had a local fix.)


Thanks
Zhijian

Subject: [PATCH] Revert "firewire: Kill unnecessary buf check in
device_attribute.show"

This reverts commit 4a2b06ca33763b363038d333274e212db6ff0de1.

The previous fix didn't consider callers from other than sysfs. Revert
it to fix the NULL dereference
