[PATCH] intel_menlow: set cdev after null device check to avoid null pointer dereference

From: Colin King
Date: Mon Mar 28 2016 - 12:18:50 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

intel_menlow_memory_remove sanity checks to see if device is null, however,
this check is performed after we have already passed device into a call
to acpi_driver_data. If device is null, then acpi_driver_data will produce
a null pointer dereference on device. The correct action is to sanity check
device, then assign cdev, then check if cdev is null.
