[PATCH V2 1/2] serial: mctrl_gpio: Check for NULL pointer

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

 



When using mctrl_gpio_to_gpiod, it dereferences gpios into a single
requested GPIO.  This dereferencing can break if gpios is NULL,
so this patch adds a NULL check before dereferencing it.  If
gpios is NULL, this function will also return NULL.

V2:  This patch is new to the V2 of this series, so patch 2/2 can 
     work without risking a NULL dereference
