[PATCH 2/2] HID: check empty report_list in bigben_probe()

From: Pietro Borrello
Date: Mon Jan 16 2023 - 06:12:13 EST


Add a check for empty report_list in bigben_probe().
The missing check causes a type confusion when issuing a list_entry()
on an empty report_list.
The problem is caused by the assumption that the device must
have valid report_list. While this will be true for all normal HID
devices, a suitably malicious device can violate the assumption.
