Subject: [PATCH] net: phy: mdio-mux: Check return value of mdiobus_alloc()
Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2015 13:51:51 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1450097511-13010-1-git-send-email-tklauser@distanz.ch> (raw)

mdiobus_alloc() might return NULL, but its return value is not
checked in mdio_mux_init(). This could potentially lead to a NULL
pointer dereference. Fix it by checking the return value

Fixes: 0ca2997d1452 ("netdev/of/phy: Add MDIO bus multiplexer support.")
