I find below pdata list for extcon-arizona driver. But, drivers/mfd/arizona-core.c don't parse dt data for below pdata list of extcon-arizona. Did you test this patch for extcon-arizona operation? arizona->pdata.micd_pol_gpio arizona->pdata.micd_force_micbias arizona->pdata.hpdet_id_gpio arizona->pdata.hpdet_acc_id arizona->pdata.hpdet_acc_id_line arizona->pdata.micd_detect_debounce arizona->pdata.jd_gpio5 arizona->pdata.micd_timeout arizona->pdata.num_micd_configs arizona->pdata.micd_configs arizona->pdata.micd_bias_start_time arizona->pdata.micd_rate arizona->pdata.micd_dbtime arizona->pdata.num_micd_ranges ... If you fix NULL pointer error about pdata, I think only that extcon-arizona modify it as following: diff --git a/drivers/extcon/extcon-arizona.c b/drivers/extcon/extcon-arizona.c index e557130..3429906 100644 --- a/drivers/extcon/extcon-arizona.c +++ b/drivers/extcon/extcon-arizona.c @@ -1088,6 +1088,10 @@ static int arizona_extcon_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) return -EPROBE_DEFER; pdata = dev_get_platdata(arizona->dev); + if (!pdata) { + dev_err(&pdev->dev, "Failed to get platform data\n"); + return -EINVAL; + } info = devm_kzalloc(&pdev->dev, sizeof(*info), GFP_KERNEL); if (!info) { Thanks, Chanwoo Choi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
