X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3440625d78711bee41a84cf29c3d8c579b522666;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

flat: fix uninitialized ptr with shared libs

The new credentials code broke load_flat_shared_library() as it now uses
an uninitialized cred pointer.
