[PATCH] rsi: fix a dereference on adapter before it has been null checked
From: Colin King
Date: Fri Sep 08 2017 - 11:25:05 EST
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The assignment of dev is dereferencing adapter before adapter has
been null checked, potentially leading to a null pointer dereference.
Fix this by simply moving the assignment of dev to a later point
after the sanity null check of adapter.
Detected by CoverityScan CID#1398383 ("Dereference before null check")
