Re: [PATCH] Tty: serial - Fix possible NULL derefrence.
From: Maarten Brock

Hello Greg,
Does that also mean that this isn't possible in the sc16is7xx.c driver
in
sc16is7xx_spi_probe() line 1358 and sc16is7xx_i2c_probe() line 1419 ?
If so, should these checks be removed?
Kind regards,
Maarten

of_match_device could return NULL, and so can cause a NULL

Patch now dropped as this isn't possible.
