Subject: hdlc: fix null-deref on allocation failure
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=52d178516dcf61e7a59363a572458c830af6e520;p=linux-beck.git

hdlc: fix null-deref on allocation failure

If alloc_netdev() failed and return NULL, then the next instruction
would dereference it. Found by Coverity.

Compile tested only. Not sure if anyone still uses this driver
(or the whole WAN subsystem).
