4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit ca0edb131bdf1e6beaeb2b8289fd6b374b74147d ] A tun device type can trivially be set to arbitrary value using TUNSETLINK ioctl(). Therefore, lowpan_device_event() must really check that ieee802154_ptr is not NULL.
