thunderbolt: Prevent crash when ICM firmware is not running
On Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 370 (and possibly some other Lenovo models as well) the Thunderbolt host controller sometimes comes up in such way that the ICM firmware is not running properly. This is most likely an issue in BIOS/firmware but as side-effect driver crashes the kernel due to NULL pointer dereference: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000980 IP: pci_write_config_dword+0x5/0x20 Call Trace: pcie2cio_write+0x3b/0x70 [thunderbolt] icm_driver_ready+0x168/0x260 [thunderbolt] ? tb_ctl_start+0x50/0x70 [thunderbolt] tb_domain_add+0x73/0xf0 [thunderbolt] nhi_probe+0x182/0x300 [thunderbolt] local_pci_probe+0x42/0xa0 ? pci_match_device+0xd9/0x100 pci_device_probe+0x146/0x1b0 driver_probe_device+0x315/0x480 ... Instead of crashing update the driver to bail out gracefully if we encounter such situation.
