Subject: cpufreq: Avoid crash in resume on SMP without OPP
From: Geert Uytterhoeven <[email protected]>
commit 09712f557b31838092e1f22a5f2dd131a843a3de upstream.
When resuming from s2ram on an SMP system without cpufreq operating
points (e.g. there's no "operating-points" property for the CPU node in
DT, or the platform doesn't use DT yet), the kernel crashes when
bringing CPU 1 online:
Enabling non-boot CPUs ...
CPU1: Booted secondary processor
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000003c
pgd = ee5e6b00
[0000003c] *pgd=6e579003, *pmd=6e588003, *pte=00000000

Verify that policy is not NULL before dereferencing it to fix this.
