Subject: staging: dgap: fix possible NULL dereference
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=39be6b8b0cc84b33cd17bc570e80a25126f87c9c;p=linux-beck.git

staging: dgap: fix possible NULL dereference

The return pointer from dgap_getword() is used in strcmp() where it is
dereferenced. But dgap_getword() can return NULL.
Lets put a check there and return 0 as error.
