Subject: [PATCH] HID: core: fix NULL pointer dereference
Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2018 10:22:09 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180829152209.GA29831@embeddedor.com> (raw)

There is a NULL pointer dereference in case memory resources
for *parse* are not successfully allocated.

Fix this by adding a new goto label and make the execution
path jump to it in case vzalloc() fails.

Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1473081 ("Dereference after null check")
Fixes: b2dd9f2e5a8a ("HID: core: fix memory leak on probe")
