4.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sudip Mukherjee <sudipm.mukherjee@xxxxxxxxx> commit dd85ebf681ef0ee1fc985c353dd45e8b53b5dc1e upstream. During the last close we are freeing spidev if spidev->spi is NULL, but just before checking if spidev->spi is NULL we are dereferencing it. Lets add a check there to avoid the NULL dereference.
