Subject[PATCH 4.14 58/75] ipack: ipoctal: fix missing allocation-failure check
Date
From: Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org>

commit 445c8132727728dc297492a7d9fc074af3e94ba3 upstream.

Add the missing error handling when allocating the transmit buffer to
avoid dereferencing a NULL pointer in write() should the allocation
ever fail.

Fixes: ba4dc61fe8c5 ("Staging: ipack: add support for IP-OCTAL mezzanine board")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.5
