Hi Takashi,

The recent change in elants_i2c driver to support more chips
introduced a regression leading to Oops at probing.  The driver reads
id->driver_data, but the id may be NULL depending on the device type
the driver gets bound.

Add a NULL check and falls back to the default EKTH3500.
Thank you for the patch. I think my preference would be to switch to
device_get_match_data() and annotate the rest of the match tables with
proper controller types.
Doesn't a NULL mean that elants_i2c_id[] table fails to match the ACPI
device name? What is the name then?
I don't own the device, so we need to ask on (open)SUSE Bugzilla.
If we will know the name, then alternative fix could be to add the name
to the elants_i2c_id[]. To be honest, I thought that the ID should be
borrowed from elants_acpi_id[] for the ACPI devices, but this was a mistake.

This could be two patches:
  1 - trivial fix that can be backported easily
  2 - switch to device_get_match_data()
I guess 2 is easy enough to backport to 5.12.x.  Let's see.
Okay
