[PATCH v2] staging: rtl8192u: r8192U_core: Fix driver_info dereference as a null pointer

From: Rickard Strandqvist
Date: Sat Feb 07 2015 - 09:53:09 EST


Fix possible use of use of driver_info as a null pointer in
query_rxdesc_status()
This could happen if stats->RxIs40MHzPacket still has the
default value of zero.
