From: Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 271da132e29b5341c31eca6ba6a72ea1302ebac8 ] In phy_led_trigger_change_speed(), there is an if statement on line 48 to check whether phy->last_triggered is NULL: if (!phy->last_triggered) When phy->last_triggered is NULL, it is used on line 52: led_trigger_event(&phy->last_triggered->trigger, LED_OFF); Thus, a possible null-pointer dereference may occur. To fix this bug, led_trigger_event(&phy->last_triggered->trigger, LED_OFF) is called when phy->last_triggered is not NULL. This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by the OSLAB group in Tsinghua University. Signed-off-by: Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
