[PATCH] staging: ks7010_sdio: fix NULL pointer dereference and memory leak
From: Gustavo A. R. Silva
Date: Thu Apr 12 2018 - 10:30:19 EST
priv is being dereferenced when it is still null, hence there is an
explicit null pointer dereference at line 935: free_netdev(priv->net_dev)
Also, memory allocated for netdev at line 854:
netdev = alloc_etherdev(sizeof(*priv));
is not being free'd, hence there is a memory leak.
Fix this by null checking priv before dererefencing it and free netdev
before return.
