From 64e4566f6d590fbb284da061b9b664c2486dd2de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Timur Tabi Date: Thu, 8 May 2008 05:19:59 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] [POWERPC] Add null pointer check to of_find_property Update function of_find_property() to return NULL if the device_node passed to it is also NULL. Otherwise, passing NULL will cause a null pointer dereference. Without this, the legacy_serial driver will crash if there's no 'chosen' node in the device tree.
