- What I did
Fix kernel panic removing switcboard_fpga module while XCVR is accessing. While removing the module, invalid kernel object removal causes NULL pointer dependencies left in the kernel, and a function trying to access it causes kernel exception.
PLATFORMS: Phalanx, Fishbone32, and Fishbone48.
- How I did it
The NULL pointer condition check is added to i2c-access functions. If NULL is found, a function will not perform I2c operation and exit with ESHUTDOWN status indicates that the adapter is not ready to use (suspended).
Changes applied to followings functions:
- How to verify it
sfputil show eeprom
modprobe -r switchboard_fpga
