[PATCH] drivers: thermal: Add NULL pointer check before using cooling device stats

[PATCH] drivers: thermal: Add NULL pointer check before using cooling device stats

[Manaf Meethalavalappu Pallikunhi]

There is a possible chance that some cooling device stats buffer
allocation fails due to very high cooling device max state value.
Later cooling device update or cooling stats sysfs will try to
access stats data for the same cooling device. It will lead to
NULL pointer dereference issue.

Add a NULL pointer check before accessing thermal cooling device
stats data. It fixes the following bug

Why not create the 'stats' dir if the setup fails ?

The only place where it can crash is when the
thermal_cooling_device_stats_update() function is called.

The other places in show*/store* in the stats directory are inaccessible
as the sysfs entry is not showed up due to the
thermal_cooling_device_stats_setup() failing.

It would have been nice if the thermal_cooling_device_stats_update() was
not called at all but I don't see how we can do that without static keys
which is overkill for a degraded mode.

I guess having the kzallocation warning in the console output is enough
to warn the user the system is working without the stats for the cooling
device. That should not prevent the system functioning.

Can you resend with the check in thermal_cooling_device_stats_update() only?

Thanks

Thanks for your review, I double checked it, yes, no need to add NULL 
check in stats sysfs show*/store* functions.
I will update this in V2
