[PATCH][next] mlxsw: thermal: Fix null dereference of NULL temperature parameter

From: Colin King
Date: Wed Jun 09 2021 - 13:58:02 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The call to mlxsw_thermal_module_temp_and_thresholds_get passes a NULL
pointer for the temperature and this can be dereferenced in this function
if the mlxsw_reg_query call fails. The simplist fix is to pass the
address of dummy temperature variable instead of a NULL pointer.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Explicit null dereferenced")
Fixes: 72a64c2fe9d8 ("mlxsw: thermal: Read module temperature thresholds using MTMP register")
