Subject: [PATCH] net: wireless: ath9k: avoid possible NULL pointer dereference
Date: Fri, 29 Nov 2013 18:06:46 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1385744806-10079-1-git-send-email-mpn@google.com> (raw)
From: Michal Nazarewicz <mina86@mina86.com>
Code in ath9k_hw_set_clockrate function indicates that ah->curchan
(and thus chan local variable) may be NULL. If that is indeed the
case, IS_CHAN_HT40(chan) check has to be performed only in branch
where chan is not NULL. Moving the code under already existing
if condition fixes this issue.
