From dd85ebf681ef0ee1fc985c353dd45e8b53b5dc1e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sudip Mukherjee Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2015 16:48:13 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] spi: spidev: fix possible NULL dereference During the last close we are freeing spidev if spidev->spi is NULL, but just before checking if spidev->spi is NULL we are dereferencing it. Lets add a check there to avoid the NULL dereference.
