[2.6 patch] drivers/rtc/rtc-rs5c372.c: fix a NULL dereference

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

 



The correct order is: NULL check before dereference

This was a guaranteed NULL dereference with debugging enabled since 
rs5c372_sysfs_show_osc() does actually pass NULL...

Spotted by the Coverity checker.
