[PATCH] console: console_get_by_name: do not strcmp NULL

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



console_get_by_name iterates through the console_list using strcmp to mach
a given console by name. console_list may contain entries with devname = NULL,
inserted there e.g. by KEYBOARD_GPIO. In worst case loady -t usbserial
will crash barebox when strcmp hits 0 NULL devname:
> unable to handle NULL pointer dereference at address 0x00000000

Let console_get_by_name just ignore the anonymous consoles.
