Subject: [patch] [media] dib8000: move dereference after check for NULL
Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2012 11:11:57 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120720111157.GA22245@elgon.mountain> (raw)

My static checker complains that we dereference "state" inside the call
to fft_to_mode() before checking for NULL.  The comments say that it is
possible for "state" to be NULL so I have moved the dereference after
the check.
