[patch] [media] cx18: check for allocation failure in cx18_read_eeprom()

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

 



It upsets static checkers when we don't check for allocation failure.  I
moved the memset() of "tv" earlier so we don't use uninitialized data on
error.
