Rafael J. Wysocki af673209d4 platform/x86: classmate-laptop: Add missing NULL pointer checks 
[ Upstream commit fe747d7112 ]

In a few places in the Classmate laptop driver, code using the accel
object may run before that object's address is stored in the driver
data of the input device using it.

For example, cmpc_accel_sensitivity_store_v4() is the "show" method
of cmpc_accel_sensitivity_attr_v4 which is added in cmpc_accel_add_v4(),
before calling dev_set_drvdata() for inputdev->dev.  If the sysfs
attribute is accessed prematurely, the dev_get_drvdata(&inputdev->dev)
call in in cmpc_accel_sensitivity_store_v4() returns NULL which
leads to a NULL pointer dereference going forward.

Moreover, sysfs attributes using the input device are added before
initializing that device by cmpc_add_acpi_notify_device() and if one
of them is accessed before running that function, a NULL pointer
dereference will occur.

For example, cmpc_accel_sensitivity_attr_v4 is added before calling
cmpc_add_acpi_notify_device() and if it is read prematurely, the
dev_get_drvdata(&acpi->dev) call in cmpc_accel_sensitivity_show_v4()
returns NULL which leads to a NULL pointer dereference going forward.

Fix this by adding NULL pointer checks in all of the relevant places.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
