[ Upstream commit 682fee802843b332f9c51ffc8e062de5ff773f2e ] Trying to register the DSP platform device results in a null pointer access: [ 0.124184] CPU 0 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00000000, epc == 804e305c, ra == 804e6f20 [ 0.135208] Oops[#1]: [ 0.137514] CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper Not tainted 4.14.87 ... [ 0.197117] epc : 804e305c bcm63xx_dsp_register+0x80/0xa4 [ 0.202838] ra : 804e6f20 board_register_devices+0x258/0x390 ... This happens because it tries to copy the passed platform data over the platform_device's unpopulated platform_data. Since this code has been broken since its submission, no driver was ever submitted for it, and apparently nobody was using it, just remove it instead of trying to fix it.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
