If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "Rajanikanth H.V" commit eeb0751c99522a4d1bbcc7b6bc1460cd07d07488 upstream. Power supply subsystem creates thermal zone device for the property 'POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_TEMP' which requires thermal subsystem to be ready before 'ab8500 battery temperature monitor' driver is initialized. ab8500 btemp driver is initialized with subsys_initcall whereas thermal subsystem is initialized with fs_initcall which causes thermal_zone_device_register(...) to crash since the required structure 'thermal_class' is not initialized yet: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 000000a4 pgd = c0004000 [000000a4] *pgd=00000000 Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM Modules linked in: CPU: 0 Tainted: G W (3.8.0-rc4-00001-g632fda8-dirty #1) PC is at _raw_spin_lock+0x18/0x54 LR is at get_device_parent+0x50/0x1b8 pc : [] lr : [] psr: 60000013 sp : ef04bdc8 ip : 00000000 fp : c0446180 r10: ef216e38 r9 : c03af5d0 r8 : ef275c18 r7 : 00000000 r6 : c0476c14 r5 : ef275c18 r4 : ef095840 r3 : ef04a000 r2 : 00000001 r1 : 00000000 r0 : 000000a4 Flags: nZCv IRQs on FIQs on Mode SVC_32 ISA ARM Segment kernel Control: 10c5787d Table: 0000404a DAC: 00000015 Process swapper/0 (pid: 1, stack limit = 0xef04a238) Stack: (0xef04bdc8 to 0xef04c000) [...] [] (_raw_spin_lock+0x18/0x54) from [] (get_device_parent+0x50/0x1b8) [] (get_device_parent+0x50/0x1b8) from [] (device_add+0xa4/0x574) [] (device_add+0xa4/0x574) from [] (thermal_zone_device_register+0x118/0x938) [] (thermal_zone_device_register+0x118/0x938) from [] (power_supply_register+0x170/0x1f8) [] (power_supply_register+0x170/0x1f8) from [] (ab8500_btemp_probe+0x208/0x47c) [] (ab8500_btemp_probe+0x208/0x47c) from [] (platform_drv_probe+0x14/0x18) [] (platform_drv_probe+0x14/0x18) from [] (driver_probe_device+0x74/0x20c) [] (driver_probe_device+0x74/0x20c) from [] (__driver_attach+0x8c/0x90) [] (__driver_attach+0x8c/0x90) from [] (bus_for_each_dev+0x4c/0x80) [] (bus_for_each_dev+0x4c/0x80) from [] (bus_add_driver+0x16c/0x23c) [] (bus_add_driver+0x16c/0x23c) from [] (driver_register+0x78/0x14c) [] (driver_register+0x78/0x14c) from [] (do_one_initcall+0xfc/0x164) [] (do_one_initcall+0xfc/0x164) from [] (kernel_init+0x120/0x2b8) [] (kernel_init+0x120/0x2b8) from [] (ret_from_fork+0x14/0x3c) Code: e3c3303f e5932004 e2822001 e5832004 (e1903f9f) ---[ end trace ed9df72941b5bada ]--- Signed-off-by: Rajanikanth H.V Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- drivers/power/ab8500_btemp.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/drivers/power/ab8500_btemp.c +++ b/drivers/power/ab8500_btemp.c @@ -1123,7 +1123,7 @@ static void __exit ab8500_btemp_exit(voi platform_driver_unregister(&ab8500_btemp_driver); } -subsys_initcall_sync(ab8500_btemp_init); +device_initcall(ab8500_btemp_init); module_exit(ab8500_btemp_exit); MODULE_LICENSE("GPL v2"); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
