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
