[PATCH] nvmem: nintendo-otp: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in nintendo_otp_probe()
Posted by Haotian Zhang 3 days, 22 hours ago
of_match_device() may return NULL if no match is found.
Dereferencing the return value of_id in nintendo_otp_probe()
without a check could lead to a NULL pointer dereference.

Add a check for of_id and return -ENODEV upon failure.
