[PATCH] net: qualcomm: rmnet: check for null ep to avoid null pointer dereference

From: Colin King
Date: Fri Mar 23 2018 - 19:52:10 EST


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

The call to rmnet_get_endpoint can potentially return NULL so check
for this to avoid any subsequent null pointer dereferences on a NULL
ep.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1465385 ("Dereference null return value")

Fixes: 23790ef12082 ("net: qualcomm: rmnet: Allow to configure flags for existing devices")
