From 1d8f062ebc972053318c3a0e0470c7e0ddc1ebee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Ian King Date: Sat, 22 Dec 2018 12:49:39 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] drivers: base: swnode: check if pointer p is NULL before dereferencing it The pointer p can be potentially NULL as macro to_software_node can return NULL. Add null check on p before dereferencing it to avoid any NULL pointer dereferences.
