[PATCH 5.10] staging: rtl8723bs: fix null dereference in find_network

[PATCH 5.10] staging: rtl8723bs: fix null dereference in find_network

[Ethan Tidmore]

[ Upstream commit 41460a19654c32d39fd0e3a3671cd8d4b7b8479f ]

The variable pwlan has the possibility of being NULL when passed into
rtw_free_network_nolock() which would later dereference the variable.
