From: José Expósito <jose.exposito89@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit aa320fdbbbb482c19100f51461bd0069753ce3d7 ] The function performs a check on the hdev input parameters, however, it is used before the check. Initialize the udev variable after the sanity check to avoid a possible NULL pointer dereference.
