[patch v2] tgafb: potential NULL dereference in init

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

 



Static checkers complain that there are paths where "tga_type_name" can
be NULL.  I've re-arranged the code slightly so that's impossible.

v1: had introduced a "dereferencing uninitialized variable" bug.  Thanks
to Geert Uytterhoeven for catching that.
