From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> il4965_rs_initialize_lq checks to see if sta is null, however, before that check il4965_rs_use_green dereferences sta when intializing use_green. Avoid a potential null pointer dereference error by only calling il4965_rs_use_green after we are sure sta is not null.
