It looks like fext is NULL, but bl_update_status passes it down to
call_fext_func which obviously blows up.
This was originally reported here:
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1058814
Any ideas?
thanks,

Thanks for report.
Isn't it a duplicate of [1]? If so, perhaps you may continue that thread.

Thanks for the report.
This issue is already being discussed. See the platform drivers thread
"[PATCH] platform/x86: fujitsu-laptop: Don't oops when FUJ02E3 is not
presnt".
> Any ideas?
Until the above post to platform drivers it was thought that all Fujitsu
laptops had FUJ02E3 since this was what was observed on all models we had
access to.
An interim patch is under consideration.

Yes, it is a duplicate of [1]. I agree that discussion should continue in
that earlier thread.
