Subject: [PATCH 3.16 233/370] can: c_can_pci: fix null-pointer-deref in
 c_can_start() - set device pointer

3.16.42-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Einar Jón <tolvupostur@...il.com>

commit c97c52be78b8463ac5407f1cf1f22f8f6cf93a37 upstream.

The priv->device pointer for c_can_pci is never set, but it is used
without a NULL check in c_can_start(). Setting it in c_can_pci_probe()
like c_can_plat_probe() prevents c_can_pci.ko from crashing, with and
without CONFIG_PM.

This might also cause the pm_runtime_*() functions in c_can.c to
actually be executed for c_can_pci devices - they are the only other
place where priv->device is used, but they all contain a null check.
