From 4736697963385e6257ee8e260e97347e858cd962 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matt Redfearn Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2016 17:21:46 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: KASLR: Fix handling of NULL FDT If platform code returns a NULL pointer to the FDT, initial_boot_params will not get set to a valid pointer and attempting to find the /chosen node in it will cause a NULL pointer dereference and the kernel to crash immediately on startup - with no output to the console. Fix this by checking that initial_boot_params is valid before using it.
