Subject: net: ipconfig: Fix NULL pointer dereference on RARP/BOOTP/DHCP timeout
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1ae292a2457cd692828da2be87cb967260993ad0;p=linux-beck.git

net: ipconfig: Fix NULL pointer dereference on RARP/BOOTP/DHCP timeout

If no RARP, BOOTP, or DHCP response is received, ic_dev is never set,
causing a NULL pointer dereference in ic_close_devs():

    Sending DHCP requests ...... timed out!
    Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000004

To fix this, add a check to avoid dereferencing ic_dev if it is still
NULL.
