From d56e4f75346933dd2cb11533a668ce883908c859 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jarkko Sakkinen Date: Sat, 7 Nov 2015 13:33:25 +0200 Subject: tpm: fix compat 'ppi' link handling in tpm_chip_register() __compat_only_sysfs_link_entry_to_kobj() was unconditionally called for TPM1 chips, which caused crash on Acer C720 laptop where DSM for the ACPI object did not exist. There are two reasons for unwanted behavior: * The code did not check whether __compat_only_sysfs_link_entry_to_kobj() returned -ENOENT. This is OK. It just meanst that ppi is not available. * The code did not clean up properly. Compat link should added only after all other init is done. This patch sorts out these issues.
