From 2e8b9f5d5032e0adf9548f968220dd56c63ef238 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maxim Petrov Date: Mon, 4 May 2020 09:26:43 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] stmmac: fix pointer check after utilization in stmmac_interrupt [ Upstream commit f42234ffd531ca6b13d9da02faa60b72eccf8334 ] The paranoidal pointer check in IRQ handler looks very strange - it really protects us only against bogus drivers which request IRQ line with null pointer dev_id. However, the code fragment is incorrect because the dev pointer is used before the actual check which leads to undefined behavior. Remove the check to avoid confusing people with incorrect code.
