From: Shijith Thotton <sthotton@xxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit b03c0dc0788abccc7a25ef7dff5818f4123bb992 ] Added missing checks to avoid null pointer dereference. The patch fixes below issue reported by klocwork tool: . Pointer 'strsep( &val, ":" )' returned from call to function 'strsep' at line 1608 may be NULL and will be dereferenced at line 1608. Also there are 2 similar errors on lines 1620, 1632 in otx2_cptpf_ucode.c.
