From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> When us->extra is null the driver is not initialized, however, a later call to osd200_scsi_to_ata is made that dereferences us->extra, causing a null pointer dereference. The code currently detects and reports that the driver is not initialized; add a return to avoid the subsequent dereference issue in this check.
