The following code appears in the function fs_init_instance in the file drivers/net/fs_enet/fs_enet-main.c.
if (fep->ops == NULL) {
printk(KERN_ERR DRV_MODULE_NAME
": %s No matching ops found (%d).\n",
ndev->name, fpi->fs_no);
err = -EINVAL;
goto err;
}
This code implies that at the point of err, fep->ops can be NULL, so an
extra test is needed before dereferencing this value.
This problem was found using the following semantic match
