Subject[PATCH 5.8 491/633] firmware: arm_scmi: Fix NULL pointer dereference in mailbox_chan_free
Date
From: Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla@arm.com>

[ Upstream commit 6ed6c558234f0b6c22e47a3c2feddce3d02324dd ]

scmi_mailbox is obtained from cinfo->transport_info and the first
call to mailbox_chan_free frees the channel and sets cinfo->transport_info
to NULL. Care is taken to check for non NULL smbox->chan but smbox can
itself be NULL. Fix it by checking for it without which, kernel crashes
with below NULL pointer dereference and eventually kernel panic.

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at
virtual address 0000000000000038
