[PATCH 1/2] NFC: delete null dereference

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

 



The exit label performs device_unlock(&dev->dev);, which will fail when dev
is NULL, and nfc_put_device(dev);, which is not useful when dev is NULL, so
just exit the function immediately.

Problem found using scripts/coccinelle/null/deref_null.cocci
