Subject: [PATCH][next] mlxsw: thermal: Fix null dereference of NULL temperature parameter
Date: Wed,  9 Jun 2021 18:56:57 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210609175657.299112-1-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

The call to mlxsw_thermal_module_temp_and_thresholds_get passes a NULL
pointer for the temperature and this can be dereferenced in this function
if the mlxsw_reg_query call fails.  The simplist fix is to pass the
address of dummy temperature variable instead of a NULL pointer.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Explicit null dereferenced")
Fixes: 72a64c2fe9d8 ("mlxsw: thermal: Read module temperature thresholds using MTMP register")
