Subject: [patch] ata: ahci_xgene: dereferencing uninitialized pointer in probe
Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2016 10:45:32 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160310074532.GA7163@mwanda> (raw)

If the call to acpi_get_object_info() fails then "info" hasn't been
initialized.  In that situation, we already know that "version" should
be XGENE_AHCI_V1 so we don't actually need to dereference "info".

Fixes: c9802a4be661 ('ata: ahci_xgene: Add AHCI Support for 2nd HW version of APM X-Gene SoC AHCI SATA Host controller.')
Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>
