#1354904 — [patch] ata: ahci_xgene: dereferencing uninitialized pointer in probe

FromDan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>
Date2016-03-10 08:50 +0100
Subject[patch] ata: ahci_xgene: dereferencing uninitialized pointer in probe
Message-ID<rb3w6-3HD-13@gated-at.bofh.it>
If the call to acpi_get_object_info() fails then "info" hasn't been
initialized.  In that situation, we already know that "version" should
be XGENE_AHCI_V1 so we don't actually need to dereference "info".

Fixes: c9802a4be661 ('ata: ahci_xgene: Add AHCI Support for 2nd HW version of APM X-Gene SoC AHCI SATA Host controller.')
