[PATCH] mfd: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference

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

 



if 'max8998_i2c_parse_dt_pdata() fails (when out of memory), a NULL
pointer dereference will occur in the error handling code.

Return directly instead.

Fixes: ee999fb3f17f("mfd: max8998: Add support for Device Tree")
