[patch 33/74] cfg80211: add two missing NULL pointer checks

From: Greg KH
Date: Thu Aug 13 2009 - 16:08:47 EST


2.6.30-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Johannes Berg <johannes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit cd3468bad96c00b5a512f551674f36776129520e upstream.

These pointers can be NULL, the is_mesh() case isn't
ever hit in the current kernel, but cmp_ies() can be
hit under certain conditions.
