Subject: [PATCH] tpm: fix compat 'ppi' link handling in tpm_chip_register()
Date: Sun, 8 Nov 2015 09:51:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1446969067-29016-1-git-send-email-jarkko.sakkinen@linux.intel.com> (raw)
__compat_only_sysfs_link_entry_to_kobj() was unconditionally called for
TPM1 chips, which caused crash on Acer C720 laptop where DSM for the
ACPI object did not exist.
There are two reasons for unwanted behavior:
* The code did not check whether
__compat_only_sysfs_link_entry_to_kobj() returned -ENOENT. This is
OK. It just meanst that ppi is not available.
* The code did not clean up properly. Compat link should added only
after all other init is done.
This patch sorts out these issues.
