From 7f37f259e30d6230e06d43363b2cbbd9658f0f59 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Larry Finger Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2014 11:12:58 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] staging: r8188eu: Calling rtw_get_stainfo() with a NULL sta_addr will return NULL commit 9452bf560273e4de2395ffdd79024debfb0c1290 upstream. This makes the follow-on check for psta != NULL pointless and makes the whole exercise rather pointless. This is another case of why blindly zero-initializing variables when they are declared is bad.
