[PATCH] Fix a potential NULL pointer dereference in uli526x_interrupt()in drivers/net/tulip/uli526x.c

From: Micah Gruber
Date: Tue Sep 04 2007 - 04:06:02 EST


This patch fixes a potential null dereference bug where we dereference dev before a null check. This patch simply moves the dereferencing after the null check.
