Subject[PATCH] kernel/resource: Invalid memory access in __release_resource
Date
When a resource is initialized via of_platform_populate.
resource->parent is initialized to NULL via kzalloc.
(of_platform_populate->of_device_alloc->of_address_to_resource)

If of_platform_depopulate is called later, resource->parent is
accessed (Offset 0x30 of address 0), causing a kernel error.

This patch evaluates resouce->parent before accessing it. If it
is not initialized, -EACCESS is returned.

Fixes:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer deference at 0000000000000030
IP: release_resource+0x26/0x90
