Subject[PATCH 1/5] coresight: Fix NULL pointer dereference in _coresight_build_path
Message-ID<rEQv1-2eq-59@gated-at.bofh.it>
_coresight_build_path assumes that all the connections of a csdev
has the child_dev initialised. This may not be true if the particular
component is not supported by the kernel config(e.g TPIU) but is
present in the DT. In which case, building a path can cause a crash like this :

Greg, since this is a bug fix can we add it to 4.7-rc2?

Thanks,
Mathieu
