Subject: [PATCH] dsa: bcm_sf2_cfp: fix an incorrect NULL check on list iterator

The bug is here:
return rule;

The list iterator value 'rule' will *always* be set and non-NULL
by list_for_each_entry(), so it is incorrect to assume that the
iterator value will be NULL if the list is empty or no element
is found.

To fix the bug, return 'rule' when found, otherwise return NULL.

The change looks correct, but from a process standpoint for next time
(a) you should have copied Florian, the driver's maintainer (which I did now)
who appears on the top of the list in the output of ./get_maintainer.pl
(b) networking bugfixes that apply to the "net" tree shouldn't need
[email protected] copied, instead just target the patch against
the https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net.git
tree and mark the subject prefix as "[PATCH net]".
