From b95d13eaf3d4ea093aba95c7f615f3b10708a2c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo Date: Wed, 9 Jun 2010 16:48:39 -0300 Subject: classmate-laptop: should check for NULL as retval for rfkill_alloc rfkill_alloc returns NULL when it fails if RFKILL is enabled. When RFKILL is disabled, its return value of ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) is OK to use as all rfkill functions will work with it, as they are simply empty stubs.
