From: Pietro Borrello <borrello@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit ffe2a22562444720b05bdfeb999c03e810d84cbb ] tls_is_tx_ready() checks that list_first_entry() does not return NULL. This condition can never happen. For empty lists, list_first_entry() returns the list_entry() of the head, which is a type confusion. Use list_first_entry_or_null() which returns NULL in case of empty lists.
