From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> In the case where glink->intentless is true and the call to qcom_glink_tx fails then we have a condition where ret is non-zero and intent is null, causing a null pointer deference when setting intent->in_use to false. Add an extra check to only dereference intent if intent is non-null.
