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.
