4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Yu Zhao <[email protected]> commit fb6de923ca3358a91525552b4907d4cb38730bdd upstream. dev_set_drvdata() needs to be called before device_register() exposes device to userspace. Otherwise kernel crashes after it gets null pointer from dev_get_drvdata() when userspace tries to access sysfs entries.
