[ Upstream commit ad40f52560 ]
The MFW may make a call to qed and then to qedf for protocol statistics
while the function is still probing. If this happens it's possible that
some members of the struct qedf_ctx may not be fully initialized which can
result in a NULL pointer dereference or general protection fault.
To prevent this, add a new flag call QEDF_PROBING and set it when the
__qedf_probe() function is active. Then in the qedf_get_protocol_tlv_data()
function we can check if the function is still probing and return
immediantely before any uninitialized structures can be touched.

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.
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.
