[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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

------------------

From: Aditya Pakki <pakki001@xxxxxxx>

commit 32f47179833b63de72427131169809065db6745e upstream.

of_match_device on failure to find a matching device can return a NULL
pointer. The patch checks for such a scenrio and passes the error upstream.
