Subject: [PATCH v2 6/7] HID: asus: do not abort probe when not necessary
Date: Sat, 28 Feb 2026 20:10:09 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260228191010.3830758-7-denis.benato@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260228191010.3830758-1-denis.benato@linux.dev>
In order to avoid dereferencing a NULL pointer asus_probe is aborted early
and control of some asus devices is transferred over hid-generic after
erroring out even when such NULL dereference cannot happen: only early
abort when the NULL dereference can happen.
Also make the code shorter and more adherent to coding standards
removing square brackets enclosing single-line if-else statements.
Fixes: d3af6ca9a8c3 ("HID: asus: fix UAF via HID_CLAIMED_INPUT validation")
