From 07c87a833e9ef92280ed24ab85cd4eb49cbca9c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Walls Date: Mon, 12 May 2008 15:01:27 -0300 Subject: V4L/DVB (7891): cx18/ivtv: fix open() kernel oops Upon error conditions in cx18/ivtv_probe(), the code at the 'err:' label leaves a NULL entry in cx18/ivtv_cards[]. This can cause a NULL pointer de-reference in cx18/ivtv_v4l2_open() which is fixed by this patch.
