Subject: [PATCH 2/11] drivers/watchdog: Eliminate a NULL pointer dereference
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cfca31ce789963c0dd6ca2e9cc13b90cc2802fbd;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

[PATCH 2/11] drivers/watchdog: Eliminate a NULL pointer dereference

At the point of the call to dev_err, wm8350 is NULL.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@r exists@
expression E,E1;
identifier f;
statement S1,S2,S3;
@@

if ((E == NULL && ...) || ...)
{
  ... when != if (...) S1 else S2
      when != E = E1
* E->f
  ... when any
  return ...;
}
else S3
// </smpl>
