[PATCH 4/4] net: caif: spi: fix potential NULL dereference

From: Vasiliy Kulikov
Date: Thu Nov 18 2010 - 13:17:18 EST


alloc_netdev() is not checked here for NULL return value. dev is
check instead. It might lead to NULL dereference of ndev.

Compile tested.
Maybe dev is also must be checked here, but it looks like a trivial typo.
