Subject: wl1251: fix potential crash
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3f60ebc9d6291863652d564bacc430629271e6a9;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

wl1251: fix potential crash

In case debugfs does not init for some reason (or is disabled
on older kernels) driver does not allocate stats.fw_stats
structure, but tries to clear it later and trips on a NULL
pointer:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
00000000
PC is at __memzero+0x24/0x80
Backtrace:

Add a NULL pointer check to fix this.
