From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit e4463e49e29f43eecec86e2e2b2e2ab4feb7d867 ] In the case where the pointer iface is null then the reporting of this error will dereference iface when printing an error message causing which is not ideal. Since the majority of callers to most_register_interface report an error when -EINVAL is returned a simple fix is to just remove the error message, I doubt it will be missed.
