From e4463e49e29f43eecec86e2e2b2e2ab4feb7d867 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Ian King Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2020 17:39:57 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] staging: most: avoid null pointer dereference when iface is null In the case where the pointer iface is null then the reporting of this error will dereference iface when printing an error message causing which is not ideal. Since the majority of callers to most_register_interface report an error when -EINVAL is returned a simple fix is to just remove the error message, I doubt it will be missed.
