Refer to the linux/drivers/media/IR/ir-sysfs.c:ir_register_class().

That Oops code disassembles to this:

33: 48 89 c3 mov %rax,%rbx
36: e8 b5 8f e0 ff callq 0xffffffffffe08ff0 <--- devno = find_first_zero_bit()
3b: 85 c0 test %eax,%eax <--- if (unlikely(devno < 0))
3d: 89 c5 mov %eax,%ebp
3f: 78 62 js 0xa3 <--- return devno
41: 48 8b 93 78 01 00 00 mov 0x178(%rbx),%rdx <--- %rdx = irdev->props
48: 48 c7 c1 a0 ba a5 81 mov $0xffffffff81a5baa0,%rcx
4f: 48 c7 c6 f0 24 7d 81 mov $0xffffffff817d24f0,%rsi
56: 48 89 df mov %rbx,%rdi
59: 8b 12 mov (%rdx),%edx <-------- Ooops here %edx = irdev->props->driver_type
5b: 48 c7 83 20 01 00 00 movq $0xffffffff81a5ba20,0x120(%rbx)

As best I can tell, in this oops irdev->props was NULL in
ir_register_class().

I don't know if ir_dev->props is always supposed to get set, but
__ir_input_register() appears to check for it being NULL and then allows
the call to ir_register_class() to happen. Of note is that if one fixes
ir_register_class() to handle a NULL props pointer, the next if()
statement in __ir_input_register() will then try to dereference the NULL
pointer and then Oops.
