#1728933 — [PATCH] fix null pointer dereferences with a null driver_adapter

FromColin King <colin.king@canonical.com>
Date2017-09-08 16:00 +0200
Subject[PATCH] fix null pointer dereferences with a null driver_adapter
Message-ID<unrZ7-7KT-1@gated-at.bofh.it>
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

The call to _rtl_dbg_trace via macro HALMAC_RT_TRACE will trigger a null
pointer deference on a null driver_adapter.  Fix this by assigning
driver_adapter earlier to halmac_adapter->driver_adapter before the tracing
call so that a non-null driver_adapter is passed instead.

I should have spotted these with an earlier patch I sent, but I overlooked
these in the rather large CoverityScan logs.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1454550, CID#1454554, CID#1454565,
CID#1454591, CID#1454598 ("Explicit null dereferenced")

Oops, I messed up the subject line, will resend V2.
