[ Upstream commit 94d4e7af14a1170e34cf082d92e4c02de9e9fb88 ] As new transfer mechanisms are added to the EC codebase, they may not support v2 of the EC protocol. If the v3 initial handshake transfer fails, the kernel will try and call cmd_xfer as a fallback. If v2 is not supported, cmd_xfer will be NULL, and the code will end up causing a kernel panic. Add a check for NULL before calling the transfer function, along with a helpful comment explaining how one might end up in this situation.

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.
