[PATCH 1/3] video/ssd1307fb: fix NULL pointer dereference in probe

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

 



info->priv is dereferenced before a valid value has been set leading to
a NULL pointer dereference in the probe function. Fix this.

Hi,

how did this ever work? Does the platform that you used this on not trap
on NULL-pointer dereference?

Cheers,
