Subject: [patch] hwmon: (max31790) potential ERR_PTR dereference
Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2016 06:24:52 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161012062452.GX12841@mwanda> (raw)

We should only dereference "data" after we check if it is an error
pointer.

Fixes: 54187ff9d766 ('hwmon: (max31790) Convert to use new hwmon registration API')
Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>
