4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
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.
