From 27d2a2fd844ec7da70d19fabb482304fd1e0595b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pietro Borrello Date: Sun, 12 Feb 2023 19:00:00 +0000 Subject: HID: bigben_worker() remove unneeded check on report_field bigben_worker() checks report_field to be non-NULL. The check has been added in commit 918aa1ef104d ("HID: bigbenff: prevent null pointer dereference") to prevent a NULL pointer crash. However, the true root cause was a missing check for output reports, patched in commit c7bf714f8755 ("HID: check empty report_list in bigben_probe()"), where the type-confused report list_entry was overlapping with a NULL pointer, which was then causing the crash.
