Subject: [patch] HID: picoLCD: fix a NULL test in picolcd_raw_cir()
Date: Fri, 7 Sep 2012 09:47:41 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120907064740.GB12028@elgon.mountain> (raw)
Smatch complains that the NULL checking in this function is not
consistent and could lead to a NULL dereference. The comments say that
we should return here if rc_dev is NULL so I've changed the test to
match the comment.

Only needed in linux-next. This is a static checker fix and I don't
have the hardware to test it. Please review carefully.
