From 0ad8acaf434d360ad99813d981a68e605d6c8179 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2009 21:21:08 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: fix NULL pointer deference in reg_device_remove() We won't ever get here as regulatory_hint_core() can only fail on -ENOMEM and in that case we don't initialize cfg80211 but this is technically correct code. This is actually good for stable, where we don't check for -ENOMEM failure on __regulatory_hint()'s failure. Cc: stable@kernel.org Reported-by: Quentin Armitage Signed-off-by: Luis R.
