From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 2133c4fc8e1348dcb752f267a143fe2254613b34 upstream. The initialization of pointer dev dereferences pointer edp before edp is null checked, so there is a potential null pointer deference issue. Fix this by only dereferencing edp after edp has been null checked.
