Subject: [patch] tgafb: potential NULL dereference in init
Date: Mon, 26 Aug 2013 14:56:10 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130826145610.GA12428@elgon.mountain> (raw)
Static checkers complain that there are paths where "tga_type_name" can
be NULL. I've re-arranged the code slightly so that's impossible.
