[PATCH] omap3isp: ispstat: fix potential NULL pointer dereference

From: Gustavo A. R. Silva
Date: Tue Apr 24 2018 - 08:51:43 EST


new_conf is indirectly dereferenced before it is null checked, hence
there is a potential null pointer dereference.

Fix this by moving the pointer dereference after new_conf has been
properly null checked.
