[PATCH][next] thermal: tegra: Fix dereference of pointer tz before it is null checked
From: Colin Ian King
Date: Wed Jul 30 2025 - 09:55:39 EST
Currently pointer tz is dereferenced before it is being null checked
leading to a potential null pointer deferernce issue. Fix this by
only defererencing it once it has been null checked.
Fixes: 6fc2e1a5f98f ("thermal/drivers/tegra: Switch to new of API")
