[PATCH][next] ath11k: avoid null pointer dereference when pointer band is null

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

 



From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

In the unlikely event that cap->supported_bands has neither
WMI_HOST_WLAN_2G_CAP set or WMI_HOST_WLAN_5G_CAP set then pointer
band is null and a null dereference occurs when assigning
band->n_iftype_data.  Move the assignment to the if blocks to
avoid this.  Cleans up static analysis warnings.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Explicit null dereference")
Fixes: 9f056ed8ee01 ("ath11k: add HE support")
