[PATCH] staging: wlan-ng: Fix dereference before NULL check

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Smatch is warning about a dereference before we check for NULL.
This patch moves the dereference to after the NULL check.

Smatch warning:
drivers/staging/wlan-ng/cfg80211.c:345 prism2_scan() warn:
	variable dereferenced before check 'request' (see line 332)
