[ Upstream commitab2180a15c] Since commit:ce2e6db554("brcmfmac: Add support for getting nvram contents from EFI variables") we have a device driver accessing the efivars API. Several functions in the efivars API assume __efivars is set, i.e., that they will be accessed only after efivars_register() has been called. However, the following NULL pointer access was reported calling efivar_entry_size() from the brcmfmac device driver: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000008 pgd = 60bfa5f1 [00000008] *pgd=00000000 Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] SMP ARM ...

So add a NULL pointer check to efivar_entry_size(), and to related functions while at it. In efivars_register() a couple of sanity checks are added as well.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
