From 955c1532a34305f2f780b47f0c40cc7c65500810 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Connor Kuehl Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2019 14:44:15 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] staging: rtl8188eu: fix null dereference when kzalloc fails If kzalloc() returns NULL, the error path doesn't stop the flow of control from entering rtw_hal_read_chip_version() which dereferences the null pointer. Fix this by adding a 'goto' to the error path to more gracefully handle the issue and avoid proceeding with initialization steps that we're no longer prepared to handle. Also update the debug message to be more consistent with the other debug messages in this function.
