Hi Yogesh,

The Smatch static checker complains that 93a1df48d22429 "mwifiex: add
cfg80211 handlers add/del_virtual_intf" introduces a potential NULL
dereference.

@@ -985,9 +817,20 @@ int mwifiex_remove_card(struct mwifiex_adapter *adapter, struct semaphore *sem)
                       atomic_read(&adapter->cmd_pending));
        }

-       /* Remove interface */
-       for (i = 0; i < adapter->priv_num; i++)
-               mwifiex_remove_interface(adapter, i);
+       for (i = 0; i < adapter->priv_num; i++) {
+               priv = adapter->priv[i];
+
+               if (!priv)
+                       continue;
+
+               rtnl_lock();
+               mwifiex_del_virtual_intf(priv->wdev->wiphy, priv->netdev);
+               rtnl_unlock();
+       }
+
+       wiphy_unregister(priv->wdev->wiphy);
                         ^^^^^^^^^^
Can priv be NULL here?  How do we know that the last element of
adapter->priv[]; is non-NULL when we have to check the others?

regards,
dan carpenter
