[ 079/117] HID: picolcd: Prevent NULL pointer dereference on _remove()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Sep 24 2013 - 20:31:55 EST


3.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bruno PrÃmont <bonbons@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 1cde501bb4655e98fb832194beb88ac73be5a05d upstream.

When picolcd is switched into bootloader mode (for FW flashing) make
sure not to try to dereference NULL-pointers of feature-devices during
unplug/unbind.

This fixes following BUG:
