Re: [PATCH] libertas_tf: Avoid a null pointer dereference in if_usb_disconnect()

[Markus Elfring <Markus.Elfring@xxxxxx>]

I suggest to recheck this description (and the corresponding patch subject).

The patch code proposes to move a specific function call into an if branch
according to a null pointer check.
