3.5.7.29 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ian Abbott <abbotti@xxxxxxxxx> commit 2fd2bdfccae61efe18f6b92b6a45fbf936d75b48 upstream. pcmuio_detach() is called by the comedi core even if pcmuio_attach() returned an error, so `dev->private` might be `NULL`. Check for that before dereferencing it. Also, as pointed out by Dan Carpenter, there is no need to check the pointer passed to `kfree()` is non-NULL, so remove that check.
