Subject: Input: twl6040-vibra - fix NULL pointer dereference by removing workqueue
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=52dee2c9f0850704327d976ea5c5fa7f4696dab5;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

Input: twl6040-vibra - fix NULL pointer dereference by removing workqueue

commit 21fb9f0d5e91 ("Input: twl6040-vibra - use system workqueue")

says that it switches to use the system workqueue but it did neither

- remove the workqueue struct variable
- replace code to really use the system workqueue

Instead it calls queue_work() on uninitialized info->workqueue.

The result is a NULL pointer dereference in vibra_play().

Solution: use schedule_work
