Subject: [PATCH] staging:gpib: Fix a dereference before null check issue
Date: Wed, 20 Nov 2024 15:46:53 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241120144653.377795-1-pperego@suse.de> (raw)

This commit fixes a dereference before null check issue discovered by
Coverity (CID 1601566).

The check ad line 1450 suggests that a_priv can be NULL, however it has
been derefenced before, in the interface_to_usbdev() call.
