[2.6.27.16] NULL pointer dereference at show_docked()

[2.6.27.16] NULL pointer dereference at show_docked()

[Tetsuo Handa]

Hello.

I encountered this on Ubuntu 8.04 on ThinkPad X60 with a dockable station
docked. The dockable station's removable slot holds a HDD.

Config is at http://I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp/tmp/config-2.6.27.16 .
Full log is at http://I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp/tmp/dmesg-2.6.27.16-native.txt .

So far I haven't encountered this regarding 2.6.26.8 and 2.6.28.5 .
