From: Pavel Skripkin <paskripkin@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit f8885ac89ce310570e5391fe0bf0ec9c7c9b4fdc ] Smatch says: bnx2x_init_ops.h:640 bnx2x_ilt_client_mem_op() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'ilt' (see line 638) Move ilt_cli variable initialization _after_ ilt validation, because it's unsafe to deref the pointer before validation check.
