Subject: drivers/platform/x86: Eliminate a NULL pointer dereference
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0fc8f274aef03bbe85774ba30e75deb58e8a90ff;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

drivers/platform/x86: Eliminate a NULL pointer dereference

Give different error messages if device_enum is NULL or if its type field
has the wrong value.

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>
