From 993eb48fa199b5f476df8204e652eff63dd19361 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Shevchenko andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com Date: Mon, 11 Apr 2022 21:07:51 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] i2c: dev: check return value when calling dev_set_name()
If dev_set_name() fails, the dev_name() is null, check the return value of dev_set_name() to avoid the null-ptr-deref.
