Subject: [PATCH v2] staging: ks7010: Add null pointer check for skb
Date:   Thu, 27 Sep 2018 16:09:34 +0100

Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Add a null pointer check for the socket buffer in ks_hostif.c to avoid a
possible null pointer deference, and remove a later now-redundant null
pointer check.
