## Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  i2c: qcom-cci: Fix NULL pointer dereference in cci_remove()  On all modern platforms Qualcomm CCI controller provides two I2C masters, and on particular boards only one I2C master may be initialized, and in such cases the device unbinding or driver removal causes a NULL pointer dereference, because cci_halt() is called for all two I2C masters, but a completion is initialized only for the single enabled master:      % rmmod i2c-qcom-cci     Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000     <snip>     Call trace:     __wait_for_common+0x194/0x1a8 (P)     wait_for_completion_timeout+0x20/0x2c     cci_remove+0xc4/0x138 [i2c_qcom_cci]     platform_remove+0x20/0x30     device_remove+0x4c/0x80     device_release_driver_internal+0x1c8/0x224     driver_detach+0x50/0x98     bus_remove_driver+0x6c/0xbc     driver_unregister+0x30/0x60     platform_driver_unregister+0x14/0x20     qcom_cci_driver_exit+0x18/0x1008 [i2c_qcom_cci]     ....
