[PATCH] scsi: qla4xxx: Prevent a potential error pointer dereference

From: Dan Carpenter
Date: Wed Aug 13 2025 - 01:53:20 EST


The qla4xxx_get_ep_fwdb() function is supposed to return NULL on error,
but qla4xxx_ep_connect() returns error pointers. Propagating the error
pointers will lead to an Oops in the caller, so change the error
pointers to NULL.
