4.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Lee Jones <[email protected]> commit 43c0c03961d0b19bd225a336897606b46e0021a6 upstream. Currently when the RC Core is enabled (reachable) core code located in cec_register_adapter() attempts to populate the RC structure with a pointer to the 'parent' passed in by the caller. Unfortunately if the caller did not specify RC capability when calling cec_allocate_adapter(), then there will be no RC structure to populate. This causes a "NULL pointer dereference" error.
