Subject: [PATCH v2] clockevents/drivers/cs5535: improve resilience to spurious interrupts
Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2017 22:57:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171020093103.3317F6004D@linux.fjfi.cvut.cz> (raw)

The interrupt handler mfgpt_tick() is not robust versus spurious
interrupts which happen before the clock event device is registered and
fully initialized.

The reason is that the safe guard against spurious interrupts solely
checks for the clockevents shutdown state, but lacks a check for
detached state. If the interrupt hits while the device is in detached
state it passes the safe guard and dereferences the event handler call
back which is NULL.

Add the missing state check.
