From 63f1e05f7fe9ca509c60154d6a833abf96eecdc9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2017 14:20:15 -0600 Subject: PM / devfreq: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in governor_store df->governor is being dereferenced before it is null checked, hence there is a potential null pointer dereference. Notice that df->governor is being null checked at line 1004: if (df->governor) {, which implies it might be null. Fix this by null checking df->governor before dereferencing it.
