power: max17040: Fix NULL pointer dereference when there is no platform_data
Fix NULL pointer dereference of "chip->pdata" if platform_data was not supplied to the driver. The driver during probe stored the pointer to the platform_data: chip->pdata = client->dev.platform_data; Later it was dereferenced in max17040_get_online() and max17040_get_status(). If platform_data was not supplied, the NULL pointer exception would happen: [ 6.626094] Unable to handle kernel of a at virtual address 00000000 [ 6.628557] pgd = c0004000 [ 6.632868] [00000000] *pgd=66262564 [ 6.634636] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address e6262000 [ 6.642014] pgd = de468000 [ 6.644700] [e6262000] *pgd=00000000 [ 6.648265] Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM [ 6.653552] Modules linked in: [ 6.656598] CPU: 0 PID: 31 Comm: kworker/0:1 Not tainted 3.10.14-02717-gc58b4b4 #505 [ 6.664334] Workqueue: events max17040_work [ 6.668488] task: dfa11b80 ti: df9f6000 task.ti: df9f6000...
