Subject: brcmfmac: check memory allocation in brcmf_add_if()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=991c209393bc30ccb36e212167bf3ecb5f33ff07;p=linux-beck.git

brcmfmac: check memory allocation in brcmf_add_if()

For P2P_DEVICE interface the struct brcmf_if instance is
allocated using kzalloc() which can fail. Add pointer
check and return -ENOMEM if it failed. Fixes the following
smatch error:

"drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmfmac/dhd_linux.c:770
brcmf_add_if()
  error: potential null dereference 'ifp'. (kzalloc returns null)"
