commit36f35b8df6upstream. Trying to register a device on a bus which has not yet been registered used to trigger a NULL-pointer dereference, but since the const bus structure rework registration instead succeeds without the device being added to the bus. This specifically means that the device will never bind to a driver and that the bus sysfs attributes are not created (i.e. as if the device had no bus). Reject devices with unregistered buses to catch any callers that get the ordering wrong and to handle bus registration failures more gracefully.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
