The pdsfc_get_operations() function returns error pointers, it doesn't
return NULL. However, the "ep_info->operations" pointer should be set
to either a valid pointer or NULL because the rest of the driver checks
for that.

Hi Dan, thanks for this patch. We also have this same fix in the patchset
update that I was expecting to push out today, but you beat me to it.

Shall I continue with our v4 patchset, or should I now be sending smaller
patches to update from earlier review comments?


I don't track how these things are merged. If you were going to fix
it in a v4 patchset then just ignore this patch. Typically in that
case you would fold the fix into the patchset anyway.

Right, please just send v4 and include a fix Dan's report.

Thanks, will do.
