First of all, thanks for reporting and bisecting this. With that said,
I must say that this is very weird. The patch in question:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=0998d063
Only makes dev-drvdata NULL in 2 cases:
1) The probe method of the driver fails
2) The driver has been detached from the device by calling one of:
device_release_driver() or driver_detach()
Note that in both code paths dev->driver also gets set to NULL, and
other generic ide driver callbacks very much depend on that not being
NULL, ie:
static int generic_ide_remove(struct device *dev)
{
ide_drive_t *drive = to_ide_device(dev);
struct ide_driver *drv = to_ide_driver(dev->driver);
if (drv->remove)
drv->remove(drive);
return 0;
}
Also how can a drivers suspend callback get called if dev->driver is NULL,
since that callback would normally be "reached" through dev->driver, so
something weird is going on here ...
I hope one of the ide guys can shed some light on this.
Regards,
Hans
