    pinctrl: core: make sure strcmp() doesn't get a null parameter · 54a58185
    Yanjiang Jin authored
    Some drivers, for example, QCOM's qdf2xxx, set groups[gpio].name only
    when gpio is valid, and leave invalid gpio names as null.
    If we want to access the sys node "pinconf-groups",
    pinctrl_get_group_selector() -> get_group_name() may return a null
    pointer if group_selector is invalid, then the below Kernel panic
    would happen since strcmp() uses this null pointer to do comparison.
