Subject: [PATCH] tpm: st33zp24: check if chip is null before dereferencing
Date: Fri,  6 Apr 2018 17:05:41 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180406160541.8188-1-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

Currently chip is being dereferenced by the call to dev_get_drvdata
before it is being null checked, hence we have a potential null
pointer dereference bug. Fix this by only dereferencing it after the
null check.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1357806 ("Dereference before null check")

Fixes: 9e0d39d8a6a0 ("tpm: Remove useless priv field in struct tpm_vendor_specific")
