Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86/intel/uncore: fix wrong box pointer check
Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2017 12:09:26 -0700
Message-ID: <20170629190926.2456-1-kan.liang@intel.com> (raw)

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com>

Should not init a NULL box. It will cause system crash.
The issue looks like caused by a typo. It is introduced from:

commit fff4b87e594a ("perf/x86/intel/uncore: Make package handling
more robust")

This was not noticed because there is no NULL box. Also, for most
boxes, they are enabled by default. The init code is not critical.
