Subject: [PATCH v2] backlight: pm8941: Add NULL check in wled_configure()
Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2025 22:16:54 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250331141654.12624-1-bsdhenrymartin@gmail.com> (raw)

devm_kasprintf() return NULL if memory allocation fails. Currently,
wled_configure() does not check for this case, leading to a possible NULL
pointer dereference.

Add NULL check after devm_kasprintf() to prevent this issue.

Fixes: f86b77583d88 ("backlight: pm8941: Convert to using %pOFn instead of device_node.name")
