Subject: [PATCH] dmaengine: at_hdmac: fix potential NULL pointer dereference in atc_prep_dma_interleaved
Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2017 08:28:14 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171120142814.GA3315@embeddedor.com> (raw)

_xt_ is being dereferenced before it is null checked, hence there is a
potential null pointer dereference.

Fix this by moving the pointer dereference after _xt_ has been null
checked.

This issue was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

Fixes: 4483320e241c ("dmaengine: Use Pointer xt after NULL check.")
