commit dc13cac4862cc68ec74348a80b6942532b7735fa upstream.
The return of ioremap if not checked, and can lead to a NULL to be assigned to hga_vram. Potentially leading to a NULL pointer dereference.
The fix adds code to deal with this case in the error label and changes how the hgafb_probe handles the return of hga_card_detect.
This will break hgafb completely, right? And crash system without hga card as a bonus.

Yes, you are right! There's a patch that fixes it:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git/commit/...
As far as I know, this patch should be queue up soon to all stable branches.
Greg should have more details about it.
Good catch, I'll go queue that up now, thanks.
