[PATCH v1] platform/x86: bitland-mifs-wmi: Fix NULL pointer dereference during suspend/resume
From: Mingyou Chen
Date: Sat Jun 20 2026 - 04:18:45 EST
The driver registers two distinct WMI devices: a control device
(BITLAND_WMI_CONTROL) and an event device (BITLAND_WMI_EVENT). During
the probe phase, the event device handling path returns early before
initializing the platform profile device (data->pp_dev), leaving it
NULL.
However, the PM sleep operations are registered globally for the WMI
driver
and are triggered for both devices. When entering suspend, the event
device
invokes bitland_mifs_wmi_suspend(), which passes the uninitialized
data->pp_dev (NULL) into laptop_profile_get(). This leads to a NULL
pointer
dereference inside dev_get_drvdata(), causing a kernel Oops and halting
the
suspend sequence.
Fix this by adding a validity check for data->pp_dev in both the suspend
and resume callbacks, safely skipping profile operations for the event
device.
