[RESEND PATCH v2] thermal: Fix a NULL pointer dereference

[Subbaraman Narayanamurthy]

of_parse_thermal_zones() parses the thermal-zones node and registers a
thermal_zone device for each subnode. However, if a thermal zone is
consuming a thermal sensor and that thermal sensor device hasn't probed
yet, an attempt to set trip_point_*_temp for that thermal zone device
can cause a NULL pointer dereference. Fix it.

While at it, fix the possible NULL pointer dereference in other

of_thermal_get_trend().

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree.  Please read:
    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html
for how to do this properly.

Hi Greg,
For this case, is it because I've missed adding "Cc:stable@vger.kernel.org" in commit text itself and cc-ed stable@vger.kernel.org directly?

Thanks,

Can the subject be more specific, please?

The issue appears to be limited to the of_thermal_ family of
functions, but the subject doesn't reflect that at all.

I've a concern about the root cause but I did not have time to
investigate how to fix it nicely.

thermal_of is responsible of introducing itself between the thermal core
code and the backend. So it defines the ops which in turn call the
sensor ops leading us to this problem.

So, without a better solution, this fix can be applied until we rethink
the thermal_of approach.

Thanks, Daniel and Rafael. So, I guess I don't need to send v3 with fixing commit subject right?
