Hi; Coverity points out an issue in this code (CID 1523906):

Here we check whether existing_frontends is NULL, implying it
might be NULL (and the && in the condition means we might not
take this error-exit path even if it is NULL)...

...but here we deref existing_frontends, implying it can't be NULL.
