[PATCH] ARM: OMAP2+: Fix kernel panic on boot

From: Jon Hunter
Date: Fri Feb 08 2013 - 13:42:20 EST


Commit 8a6aaa3 (mfd: twl-core: Collect global variables behind one
private structure (global)) removed the variable "inuse" that is used
to determine if the device has been initialised and now use the
twl_priv structure instead. This is causing the kernel to panic on all
OMAP2+ devices, because we try to access the twl_priv->ready member
before checking if twl_priv is initialised. Fix this and move this test
to the beginning of the twl_i2c_read/write function because
twl_get_last_module() also uses the twl_priv structure.
