+Subject: thermal: gov_power_allocator: Add missing NULL pointer check
+
+From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
+
+commit ac1f43c03fc91eee53cc95683245350d4d87781e upstream.
+
+Commit 0dc23567c206 ("thermal: core: Move lists of thermal instances
+to trip descriptors") overlooked the case in which the Power Allocator
+governor attempts to bind to a tripless thermal zone and params->trip_max
+is NULL in check_power_actors().
+
+No power actors can be found in that case, so check_power_actors() needs
+to be made return 0 then to restore its previous behavior.
+
+Fixes: 0dc23567c206 ("thermal: core: Move lists of thermal instances to trip descriptors")
