This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    nvmem: check for NULL reg_read and reg_write before dereferencing

to my char-misc git tree which can be found at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git
in the char-misc-testing branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will be merged to the char-misc-next branch sometime soon,
after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: nvmem: check for NULL reg_read and reg_write before dereferencing

Return -EPERM if reg_read is NULL in bin_attr_nvmem_read() or if
reg_write is NULL in bin_attr_nvmem_write().

This prevents NULL dereferences such as the one described in
03cd45d2e219 ("thunderbolt: Prevent crash if non-active NVMem file is
read")
