I tested again, but sys_off_handler_reboot called a bogus pointer
(probably reboot_prepare_cb). I think it was left uninitialized in
ntxec_probe, which uses devm_kmalloc. I guess we could switch it to
devm_kzalloc:

diff --git a/drivers/mfd/ntxec.c b/drivers/mfd/ntxec.c
index 1f55dfce14308..30364beb4b1d0 100644
--- a/drivers/mfd/ntxec.c
+++ b/drivers/mfd/ntxec.c
@@ -144,7 +144,7 @@ static int ntxec_probe(struct i2c_client *client)
const struct mfd_cell *subdevs;
size_t n_subdevs;

- ec = devm_kmalloc(&client->dev, sizeof(*ec), GFP_KERNEL);
+ ec = devm_kzalloc(&client->dev, sizeof(*ec), GFP_KERNEL);
if (!ec)
return -ENOMEM;



With that done, it works flawlessly.


Thanks,
Jonathan
