#1697637 — [PATCH][next] clk: ti: check for null return in strrchr to avoid null dereferencing

FromColin King <colin.king@canonical.com>
Date2017-07-27 02:00 +0200
Subject[PATCH][next] clk: ti: check for null return in strrchr to avoid null dereferencing
Message-ID<u7EnD-6Zb-9@gated-at.bofh.it>
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

strrchr can potentially return a null so the following strlen on the
null pointer can cause a null dereference. Add a check to see if
the string postfix is not null before calling strlen.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1452039 ("Dereference null return")

Looks fine to me.
