isdn: guard against a potential NULL pointer dereference in old_capi_manufacturer()
In drivers/isdn/capi/kcapi.c::old_capi_manufacturer(), if the call to get_capi_ctr_by_nr(ldef.contr); in line 823 returns NULL, then we'll be dereferencing a NULL pointer in the very next line. (Found by Coverity checker as bug #402) Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@gmail.com> Acked-by: Karsten Keil <kkeil@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
