From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2016 07:45:32 +0000 Subject: [patch] ata: ahci_xgene: dereferencing uninitialized pointer in probe Message-Id: <20160310074532.GA7163@mwanda> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: Tejun Heo , Suman Tripathi Cc: linux-ide@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, kernel-janitors@vger.kernel.org If the call to acpi_get_object_info() fails then "info" hasn't been initialized. In that situation, we already know that "version" should be XGENE_AHCI_V1 so we don't actually need to dereference "info". Fixes: c9802a4be661 ('ata: ahci_xgene: Add AHCI Support for 2nd HW version of APM X-Gene SoC AHCI SATA Host controller.')
