Thanks you for reporting this Vankatesh, Sudeep and Suzuki, can you guys help me with this - I don't have an R1 to test with.I've seen this too, on other platforms. This should fix it: 8<----------- From a9da7d7b47e67dd6ffcafddadb50e6f97503f296 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rabin Vincent <redacted> Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2016 08:54:21 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] coresight: check for NULL child_name Connection child names associated to ports can sometimes be NULL, which is the case when booting a system on QEMU or when the Coresight power domain isn't switched on. fadf3a44e974 ("coresight: checking for NULL string in coresight_name_match()") fixed one place to handle this but the same check is needed in coresight_orphan_match() to prevent a crash there.Thanks Rabin, we have exact same fix in linux-next already.
Sorry for the late reply - I am currently travelling. Sudeep is correct, we have this underway for the 4.9 cycle. Mathieu
