From: Rafael J. Wysocki Subject: [PATCH v1] thermal: gov_power_allocator: Add missing NULL pointer check Commit 0dc23567c206 ("thermal: core: Move lists of thermal instances to trip descriptors") overlooked the case in which the Power Allocator governor attempts to bind to a tripless thermal zone and params->trip_max is NULL in check_power_actors(). No power actors can be found in that case, so check_power_actors() needs to be made return 0 then to restore its previous behavior. Fixes: 0dc23567c206 ("thermal: core: Move lists of thermal instances to trip descriptors") Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/Z0NeGF4ryCe_b5rr@sashalap/ Reported-by: Sasha Levin Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
