From 5dca69e26fe97f17d4a6cbd6872103c868577b14 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heikki Krogerus Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2021 16:14:21 +0300 Subject: software node: Handle software node injection to an existing device properly The function software_node_notify() - the function that creates and removes the symlinks between the node and the device - was called unconditionally in device_add_software_node() and device_remove_software_node(), but it needs to be called in those functions only in the special case where the node is added to a device that has already been registered. This fixes NULL pointer dereference that happens if device_remove_software_node() is used with device that was never registered.
