From: Pan Bian <bianpan2016@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 35378ce143071c2a6bad4b59a000e9b9f8f6ea67 ] In functions cx25840_initialize(), cx231xx_initialize(), and cx23885_initialize(), the return value of create_singlethread_workqueue() is used without validation. This may result in NULL dereference and cause kernel crash. This patch fixes it.
