[PATCH] clk: st: remove null pointer dereference

From: Himangi Saraogi
Date: Sat Aug 09 2014 - 12:56:24 EST


If clk_data is NULL, it is not possible to access its clk_num field. So
if the NULL test succeeds the control sequence mush jump after the loop.
So, a new label is introduced and the labels are renamed to err0 and
err1. If clk_data is NULL, only parents need to be freed and hence the
goto now points to err0.

This problem was found using the following Coccinelle semantic match:

// <smpl>
@@
expression E, E1;
identifier f;
statement S1,S2,S3;
@@

* if (E == NULL)
{
... when != if (E == NULL) S1 else S2
when != E = E1
* E->f
... when any
return ...;
}
else S3
// </smpl>
