Subject[PATCH] staging: rtl8192u: fix a null pointer dereference on a null dev pointer
Date
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

There is an earlier null check on pointer dev which implies it may be null,
however the assignment of pointer pref and the call to free_ieee82011 on
a null dev can cause null pointer dereference errors. Fix this by moving
the assignment of priv and the the call to free_ieee80211 into the block of
code that performs the null dev sanity check.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#143078 ("Dereference after null check")

Fixes: 8fc8598e61f6 ("Staging: Added Realtek rtl8192u driver to staging")
