The list iterator value will *always* be set and non-NULL by list_for_each_entry(), so it is incorrect to assume that the iterator value will be NULL if the list is empty or no element is found in list. Use a new value 'iter' as the list iterator, while use the old value 'item' as a dedicated pointer to point to the found element, which 1. can fix this bug, due to now 'item' is NULL only if it's not found. 2. do not need to change all the uses of 'item' after the loop. 3. can also limit the scope of the list iterator 'iter' *only inside* the traversal loop by simply declaring 'iter' inside the loop in the future, as usage of the iterator outside of the list_for_each_entry is considered harmful. https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/2/17/1032 Fixes: a910e4a94f692 ("cw1200: add driver for the ST-E CW1100 & CW1200 WLAN chipsets") Signed-off-by: Xiaomeng Tong <xiam0nd.tong@xxxxxxxxx>Can someone review this, please?
