Subject[PATCH v2 1/5] dax-device: Prevent registering drivers without probe callback
Date
The bus probe function dax_bus_probe() calls the probe callback without
checking it to be non-NULL. Prevent a NULL pointer exception if a driver
without a probe function is registered by refusing to register this
driver.
