There is a problem with the tasklet in bt878. bt->tasklet is set by dvb-bt8xx.ko, and bt878.ko can be loaded independently. In this case if interrupt comes it may cause null-ptr-dereference. To solve this issue, we check if the tasklet is actually set before calling tasklet_schedule.

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.
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.
