Subject: [PATCH] bfa: do not dereference port before it is null checked
Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2016 17:36:16 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160830163616.11410-1-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

port is deferenced before it is null sanity checked, hence
we potentially have a null pointer dereference bug. Instead,
initialise trl_enabled from port->fcs->bfa after we are sure
port is not null.
