From 9afec6efc6b1043692eada758cd7837623dd943b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Shevchenko Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2015 18:38:03 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] stmmac: prevent probe drivers to crash kernel In the case when alloc_netdev fails we return NULL to a caller. But there is no check for NULL in the probe drivers. This patch changes NULL to an error pointer. The function description is amended to reflect what we may get returned.
