[PATCH 4.4 20/30] drivers/misc/c2port/c2port-duramar2150.c: checking for NULL instead of IS_ERR()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jun 19 2017 - 11:32:32 EST


4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 8128a31eaadbcdfa37774bbd28f3f00bac69996a upstream.

c2port_device_register() never returns NULL, it uses error pointers.
