| |
2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
commit 18c4078489fe064cc0ed08be3381cf2f26657f5f upstream.
The client->driver pointer can be NULL when i2c-device probing fails in i2c_new_device(). This patch adds the NULL checks for client->driver and return the error instead of blind assumption of driver availability.
