From: Guenter Roeck Date: Wed, 8 Aug 2012 05:36:45 +0000 (-0700) Subject: thermal: Fix potential NULL pointer accesses X-Git-Tag: next-20120816~63^2 X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=449488ced03a3552b45d5993c06f6f3e422308b7;p=karo-tx-linux.git thermal: Fix potential NULL pointer accesses The type parameter in thermal_zone_device_register and thermal_cooling_device_register can be NULL, indicating that no sysfs attribute for the type should be created. Only call strlen() and strcpy() on type if it is not NULL.
