[PATCH 4.14] atm:idt77252: Fix a kernel address leakage in idt77252

From: Fuqian Huang
Date: Tue Apr 16 2019 - 02:58:20 EST


Outputting kernel addresses will reveal the locations of kernel code
and data. And there is no need to print the address of
function idt77252_init in idt77252_init.
This case is similar to CVE-2018-7273[1].
Just remove the print statement.
