net: rfkill: gpio: Fix crash due to dereferencering uninitialized pointer
Since commit 7d5e9737efda ("net: rfkill: gpio: get the name and type from device property") rfkill_find_type() gets called with the possibly uninitialized "const char *type_name;" local variable. On x86 systems when rfkill-gpio binds to a "BCM4752" or "LNV4752" acpi_device, the rfkill->type is set based on the ACPI acpi_device_id: rfkill->type = (unsigned)id->driver_data; and there is no "type" property so device_property_read_string() will fail and leave type_name uninitialized, leading to a potential crash. rfkill_find_type() does accept a NULL pointer, fix the potential crash by initializing type_name to NULL. Note likely sofar this has not been caught because: 1. Not many x86 machines actually have a "BCM4752"/"LNV4752" acpi_device 2. The stack happened to contain NULL where type_name is stored Fixes: 7d5e9737efda ("net: rfkill: gpio: get the name and type from device property") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: Heikki Krogerus <heikki.krogerus@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <hansg@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Heikki Krogerus <heikki.krogerus@linux.intel.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250913113515.21698-1-hansg@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
