[PATCH 05/10] add check for initialized driver data to pmi driver

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Date: 2007-04-23 19:46:54

From: Christian Krafft <redacted>
This patch adds a check for the private driver data to be initialized.
The bug showed up, as the caller found a pmi device by it's type.
Whereas the pmi driver probes for the type and the name.
Since the name was not as the driver expected, it did not initialize.
A more relaxed probing will be supplied with an extra patch, too.
