This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled usb: chipidea: fix static checker warning for NULL pointer to my usb git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git in the usb-linus branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From 8ff396fe56f5593640a8ce7223cac33a2cda619e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Chen <peter.chen@xxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2019 09:24:20 +0000 Subject: usb: chipidea: fix static checker warning for NULL pointer During the static checker, "data->usbmisc_data" may be NULL. Fix it by adding this pointer judgement before using.
