In max732x_probe() driver allocates dummy I2C device (if number of ports is greater than 8) with i2c_new_dummy() but it does not check the return value of this call.
In case of error (i2c_new_device(): memory allocation failure or I2C address cannot be used) this function returns NULL which is later dereferenced by i2c_smbus_read_byte() (called from max732x_readb()).
