From beae416b1f40ef3b6f7918035cefcf1d5f9aeb49 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Nazarewicz Date: Fri, 29 Nov 2013 18:06:46 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] net: wireless: ath9k: avoid possible NULL pointer dereference Code in ath9k_hw_set_clockrate function indicates that ah->curchan (and thus chan local variable) may be NULL. If that is indeed the case, IS_CHAN_HT40(chan) check has to be performed only in branch where chan is not NULL. Moving the code under already existing if condition fixes this issue.
