Subject: [patch 06/13] Fix a potential NULL pointer dereference in uli526x_interrupt() in drivers/net/tulip/uli526x.c
Date: Tue, 02 Oct 2007 14:11:38 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200710022111.l92LBcIs022492@imap1.linux-foundation.org> (raw)

From: Micah Gruber <micah.gruber@gmail•com>

This patch fixes an apparent potential null dereference bug where we
dereference dev before a null check.  This patch simply remvoes the
can't-happen test for a null pointer.
