Subject: [PATCH 1/2][next][V2] Fix dereference of pointer minor before null check
Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2025 09:18:53 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250731081854.2120404-2-colin.i.king@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250731081854.2120404-1-colin.i.king@gmail.com>

Currently the pointer minor is being dereferenced before it is null
checked, leading to a potential null pointer dereference issue. Fix this
by dereferencing the pointer only after it has been null checked.

Fixes: 4f89cf40d01e ("drm/msm: bail out late_init_minor() if it is not a GPU device")
