From: Tong Zhang <ztong0001@gmail.com> [ Upstream commit 3153724fc084d8ef640c611f269ddfb576d1dcb1 ] dev->dev_data is set in zatm.c, calling zatm_start() will overwrite this dev->dev_data in uPD98402_start() and a subsequent PRIV(dev)->lock (i.e dev->phy_data->lock) will result in a null-ptr-dereference. I believe this is a typo and what it actually want to do is to allocate phy_data instead of dev_data. Signed-off-by: Tong Zhang <ztong0001@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
