Subject: sfc: check for NULL efx->ptp_data in efx_ptp_event
From: Edward Cree <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commit 8f355e5cee63c2c0c145d8206c4245d0189f47ff ]
If we receive a PTP event from the NIC when we haven't set up PTP state
in the driver, we attempt to read through a NULL pointer efx->ptp_data,
triggering a panic.
