Subject: [PATCH 3.12 016/142] wlcore/wl12xx: spi: fix NULL pointer dereference (Oops)

From: Uri Mashiach <uri.mashiach@...pulab.co.il>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit e47301b06d5a65678690f04c2248fd181db1e59a upstream.

Fix the below Oops when trying to modprobe wlcore_spi.
The oops occurs because the wl1271_power_{off,on}()
function doesn't check the power() function pointer.
