[PATCH 1/8] firmware: arm_ffa: Check for NULL FF-A ID table while driver registration

From: Sudeep Holla

Date: Thu Apr 23 2026 - 13:24:32 EST


The bus match callback assumes that every FF-A driver provides an
id_table and dereferences it unconditionally. Enforce that contract at
registration time so a buggy client driver cannot crash the bus during
match.

Fixes: e781858488b9 ("firmware: arm_ffa: Add initial FFA bus support for device enumeration")
