Subject: [PATCH] extcon: add index increment in find_cable_index_by_name
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2015 10:44:35 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1439228675-27616-1-git-send-email-tim.bird@sonymobile.com> (raw)
This fixes a bug introduced by commit 73b6ecdb93e8 ("extcon: Redefine the
unique id of supported external connectors without 'enum extcon' type")
which introduced an infinite loop in find_cable_index_by_name. That commit
converted the scan from a for loop to a while, but did not increment
'i' anywhere in the loop. If the loop index is not incremented, the
function never exits.
This function can never work correctly without this fix.
