Re: [PATCH 05/24] media: dvb-usb-v2: ec168: fix null-ptr-deref in ec168_i2c_xfer()

["Wei Chen" <harperchen1110@gmail.com>]

Dear Linux Developers,

Thank you for the review for my patch in driver az6027 and ec168.

Yes, I agree with you. Sorry for my mistake. Since these two patches has already been accepted and merged in git tree media, should I send a new patch to revise this problem? Or how could I revise an accepted patch?

Thanks,
Wei
