This patch adds error handling for the platform_get_drvdata call
within the psw_irq_handler function in
arch/sh/boards/mach-highlander/psw.c. Previously, the absence of
error checking could lead to unexpected behavior if
platform_get_drvdata returned a null pointer.

This means the button is pressed, and the interrupt fired, in
between the calls to request_irq() and platform_set_drvdata() in
arch/sh/drivers/push-switch.c:switch_drv_probe()?
The same issue can happen with arch/sh/boards/mach-landisk/psw.c.
I think the proper solution is to fix this inside the push switch
driver, by moving the call to request_irq() after the call to
platform_set_drvdata() (and doing the reverse in switch_drv_remove()).

Can you please tell me how you detected this issue?
Thanks!
