[PATCH] PM / OPP: Fix NULL pointer dereference crash when setting the OPP

From: Jon Hunter <hidden>
Date: 2016-02-15 13:59:18

Subsystem: driver core, kobjects, debugfs and sysfs, hibernation (aka software suspend, aka swsusp), power management core, suspend to ram, the rest · Maintainers: Greg Kroah-Hartman, "Rafael J. Wysocki", Danilo Krummrich, Linus Torvalds

Commit 6a0712f6f199 ("PM / OPP: Add dev_pm_opp_set_rate()") causes a
crash on Tegra124 Jetson TK1 when using the DFLL clock source for the
CPU.  The DFLL manages the voltage itself and so there is no regulator
specified for the OPPs and so we get a crash when we try to dereference
the regulator pointer.  Fix this by checking to see if the regulator
IS_ERR_OR_NULL before dereferencing it.

I am not sure why I did not catch this instance of the bug last week
when I submitted the patch to fix the NULL pointer dereference in
_opp_supported_by_regulators(). May be I forgot to go back and test
on HEAD after bisecting? Anyway, both this fix and the one from last
week are necessary to get the kernel booting again on Tegra124 Jetson
TK1.
