Subject: pinctrl: canaan: k230: Fix NULL pointer dereference when parsing devicetree
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d8c128fb6c2277d95f3f6a4ce28b82c8370031f6;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

pinctrl: canaan: k230: Fix NULL pointer dereference when parsing devicetree

When probing the k230 pinctrl driver, the kernel triggers a NULL pointer
dereference. The crash trace showed:
[    0.732084] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000068
[    0.740737] ...
[    0.776296] epc : k230_pinctrl_probe+0x1be/0x4fc

In k230_pinctrl_parse_functions(), we attempt to retrieve the device
pointer via info->pctl_dev->dev, but info->pctl_dev is only initialized
after k230_pinctrl_parse_dt() completes.

At the time of DT parsing, info->pctl_dev is still NULL, leading to
the invalid dereference of info->pctl_dev->dev.

Use the already available device pointer from platform_device
instead of accessing through uninitialized pctl_dev.
