Subject: [PATCH] media: v4l: Fix dereference before NULL check
Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2025 15:01:57 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250818093159.612208-1-chandramohan.explore@gmail.com> (raw)

In 'stm32_csi_start', 'csidev->s_subdev' is dereferenced directly while
assigning a value to the 'src_pad'. However the same value is being
checked against NULL at a later point of time indicating that there
are chances that the value can be NULL.

Move the dereference after the NULL check.

Fixes: e7bad98c205d1 ("media: v4l: Convert the users of v4l2_get_link_freq to call it on a pad")
