Subject: [PATCH] iommu/arm-smmu: fix null-pointer dereference in arm_smmu_add_device

Commit c54451a "iommu/arm-smmu: Fix the error path in arm_smmu_add_device"
removed fwspec assignment in legacy_binding path as redundant which is
wrong. It needs to be updated after fwspec initialisation in
arm_smmu_register_legacy_master() as it is dereferenced later. Without
this there is a NULL-pointer dereference panic during boot on some hosts.

Damn, you're completely right! Robin and I bashed our heads against this for
a while and couldn't remember why the code was structured like it was, but
that explains it. Can you add a comment saying that
arm_smmu_register_legacy_master will allocate an fwspec if its initially NULL,
please?

Cheers,

Will

Thanks for fixing it up, and sorry for failing to document the
unfortunately subtle logic in the first place!

Well, I was the one that messed it up:

Joerg, can you pick this up as a fix for 4.13, please?

I hit the Oops as well. This patch fixes it for me on a Cavium CN88xx
