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

component: do not dereference opaque pointer in debugfs

to my driver-core git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core.git in the driver-core-next 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 also be merged in the next major kernel release during the merge window.

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

The match data does not have to be a struct device pointer, and indeed very often is not. Attempt to treat it as such easily results in a crash.

For the components that are not registered, we don't know which device is missing. Once it it is there, we can use the struct component to get the device and whether it's bound or not.
