In commitca04d9d3e1("phy: qcom-qusb2: New driver for QUSB2 PHY on Qcom chips") you can see a call like: devm_nvmem_cell_get(dev, NULL); Note that the cell ID passed to the function is NULL. This is because the qcom-qusb2 driver is expected to work only on systems where the PHY node is hooked up via device-tree and is nameless. This works OK for the most part. The first thing nvmem_cell_get() does is to call of_nvmem_cell_get() and there it's documented that a NULL name is fine. The problem happens when the call to of_nvmem_cell_get() returns -EINVAL. In such a case we'll fall back to nvmem_cell_get_from_list() and eventually might (if nvmem_cells isn't an empty list) crash with something that looks like: strcmp nvmem_find_cell __nvmem_device_get nvmem_cell_get_from_list nvmem_cell_get devm_nvmem_cell_get qusb2_phy_probe There are several different ways we could fix this problem: One could argue that perhaps the qcom-qusb2 driver should be changed to use of_nvmem_cell_get() which is allowed to have a NULL name. In that case, we'd need to add a patche to introduce devm_of_nvmem_cell_get() since the qcom-qusb2 driver is using devm managed resources. One could also argue that perhaps we could just add a name to qcom-qusb2. That would be OK but I believe it effectively changes the device tree bindings, so maybe it's a no-go. In this patch I have chosen to fix the problem by simply not crashing when a NULL cell_id is passed to nvmem_cell_get(). NOTE: that for the qcom-qusb2 driver the "nvmem-cells" property is defined to be optional and thus it's expected to be a common case that we would hit this crash and this is more than just a theoretical fix.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
