[PATCH 5.0 111/346] net: cw1200: fix a NULL pointer dereference

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu May 30 2019 - 00:10:57 EST


[ Upstream commit 0ed2a005347400500a39ea7c7318f1fea57fb3ca ]

In case create_singlethread_workqueue fails, the fix free the
hardware and returns NULL to avoid NULL pointer dereference.
