From: Daniel Scheller <d.scheller@xxxxxxx> Both ts_release() and ts_open() can use "output" before check (smatch): drivers/media/pci/ddbridge/ddbridge-core.c:816 ts_release() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'output' (see line 809) drivers/media/pci/ddbridge/ddbridge-core.c:836 ts_open() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'output' (see line 828) Fix by performing checks on those pointers.
