From: Lifeng Zheng <zhenglifeng1@huawei.com> driver inclusion category: feature bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/ICD4AE ----------------------------------------------- Commit 96ffcdf239de ("PM / devfreq: Remove redundant governor_name from struct devfreq") removes governor_name and uses governor->name to replace it. But devfreq->governor may be NULL and directly using devfreq->governor->name may cause null pointer exception. Move the check of governor to before using governor->name.
