From 9abebb8a10ce93db45327bd3a4d06801e6db92f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julia Lawall Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2015 11:32:19 +0200 Subject: NFC: delete null dereference The exit label performs device_unlock(&dev->dev);, which will fail when dev is NULL, and nfc_put_device(dev);, which is not useful when dev is NULL, so just exit the function immediately.
