Subject: [PATCH v3] staging: rtlwifi: rtl8822b: fix to avoid NULL pointer dereference
Date:   Wed, 20 Mar 2019 12:02:49 -0500
Message-Id: <20190320170251.31838-1-pakki001@umn.edu>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

skb allocated via dev_alloc_skb can fail and return a NULL pointer.
This patch avoids such a scenario and returns, consistent with other
invocations.
