commit b2a69969908fcaf68596dfc04369af0fe2e1d2f7 upstream.
Commit 813665564b ("iio: core: Convert to use firmware node handle
instead of OF node") switched the kind of nodes to use for label
retrieval in device registration. Probably an unwanted change in that
commit was that if the device has no parent then NULL pointer is
accessed. This is what happens in the stock IIO dummy driver when a
new entry is created in configfs:
# mkdir /sys/kernel/config/iio/devices/dummy/foo
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: ...
...
Call Trace:
__iio_device_register
iio_dummy_probe
Since there seems to be no reason to make a parent device of an IIO
dummy device mandatory, let’s prevent the invalid memory access in
__iio_device_register when the parent device is NULL. With this
change, the IIO dummy driver works fine with configfs.
