Subject: [PATCH] of: Fix crash if an earlycon driver is not found
__earlycon_of_table_sentinel.compatible is a char[128], not a pointer, so
it will never be NULL. Checking it against NULL causes the match loop to
run past the end of the array, and eventually match a bogus entry, under
the following conditions:
- Kernel command line specifies "earlycon" with no parameters
- DT has a stdout-path pointing to a UART node
- The UART driver doesn't use OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE (or maybe the console
driver is compiled out)
Fix this by checking to see if match->compatible is a non-empty string.
