Re: [PATCH] Tty: serial - Fix possible NULL derefrence.

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

 



Hello Greg,

Does that also mean that this isn't possible in the sc16is7xx.c driver in
sc16is7xx_spi_probe() line 1358 and sc16is7xx_i2c_probe() line 1419 ?

If so, should these checks be removed?

Kind regards,
Maarten

of_match_device could return NULL, and so can cause a NULL

Patch now dropped as this isn't possible.
