[PATCH][V2] UBI: block: fix dereference on uninitialized dev

From: Colin King
Date: Wed Aug 20 2014 - 05:20:14 EST


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

commit 4df38926f337 ("UBI: block: Avoid disk size integer overflow")
introduced a dereference on dev (which is not initialized at that
point) when printing a warning message. Re-order disk_capacity check
after the dev is found.

Found by cppcheck:
[drivers/mtd/ubi/block.c:509]: (error) Uninitialized variable: dev
