[PATCH 1/3] device-dax: Prevent registering drivers without probe or remove callback

From: Uwe Kleine-König
Date: Wed Jan 27 2021 - 18:08:23 EST


The bus probe and remove functions (dax_bus_probe and dax_bus_remove
respectively) call these functions without checking them to be non-NULL.
Add a check to prevent a NULL pointer exception.
