Subject: [PATCH] PM / devfreq: Strengthen the handling of governor null pointer
Date: Fri,  1 Jul 2022 12:53:15 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220701045315.61456-1-schspa@gmail.com> (raw)

When new governor start failed & the old governor start failed too,
or the governor is removed, the devfreq->governor will be NULL, but
we still access it's member from devfreq->governor->name, which will
be a crash.

To fix it, change the position of Null pointer judgment before usage.

Another, If the governor is NULL, we try to assign a new governor to
it.
