Subject: [PATCH v2] ARM: davinci: DA8XX: fix oops in USB PHY driver due to stack allocated platform platform_data
Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2018 14:17:20 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1521141440-16418-1-git-send-email-david@lechnology.com> (raw)

This fixes a possible kernel oops due to using stack allocated platform
data for the USB PHY driver on DA8XX devices. If the platform device
probe is deferred, then we get a corrupt pointer for the platform data.

We now use a global static struct for the platform data so that the
platform data pointer does not get written over.

Fixes: 9b504750923cb ("ARM: davinci: da8xx: Add USB PHY platform device")
