[patch 07/15] b43: Fix possible NULL pointer dereference in DMAcode

[Greg KH]

2.6.25-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.

------------------
From: Michael Buesch <mb@xxxxxxxxx>

a cut-down version of commit 028118a5f09a9c807e6b43e2231efdff9f224c74 upstream

This fixes a possible NULL pointer dereference in an error path of the
DMA allocation error checking code. In case the DMA allocation address is invalid,
the dev pointer is dereferenced for unmapping of the buffer.
