[PATCH][next] ath11k: avoid null pointer dereference when pointer band is null
From: Colin King
Date: Sat Jan 11 2020 - 04:08:38 EST
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
In the unlikely event that cap->supported_bands has neither
WMI_HOST_WLAN_2G_CAP set or WMI_HOST_WLAN_5G_CAP set then pointer
band is null and a null dereference occurs when assigning
band->n_iftype_data. Move the assignment to the if blocks to
avoid this. Cleans up static analysis warnings.
Addresses-Coverity: ("Explicit null dereference")
Fixes: 9f056ed8ee01 ("ath11k: add HE support")
