Mark,

I'm running next-20130703 and seeing the following NULL pointer bug.

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000004
pgd = 80004000
[00000004] *pgd=00000000
Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] SMP ARM
Modules linked in:
CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.10.0-next-20130703 #6
task: bf870000 ti: bf874000 task.ti: bf874000
PC is at wm8962_probe+0x140/0x6b4
...

It seems to me that it's caused by a merge error in 384b834.  And the
change below can remove the problem.

Shawn
