[PATCH v2 1/2] power: bq2415x_charger: Properly handle ENODEV from power_supply_get_by_phandle

From: Krzysztof Kozlowski
Date: Wed Oct 15 2014 - 10:25:43 EST


The power_supply_get_by_phandle() on error returns ENODEV or NULL.
The driver later expects obtained pointer to power supply to be
valid or NULL. If it is not NULL then it dereferences it in
bq2415x_notifier_call() which would lead to dereferencing ENODEV-value
pointer.

Properly handle the power_supply_get_by_phandle() error case by
replacing error value with NULL. This indicates that usb charger
detection won't be used.

Fix also memory leak of 'name' if power_supply_get_by_phandle() fails
with NULL and probe should defer.

Changes since v1:
1. Fix memory leak in probe defer (goto error_2) (suggested by Sebastian
Reichel).
2. Don't fail the probe if 'ti,usb-charger-detection' is not present.
Just print message.
