Subject: coresight: checking for NULL string in coresight_name_match()
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fadf3a44e974b030e7145218ad1ab25e3ef91738;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

coresight: checking for NULL string in coresight_name_match()

Connection child names associated to ports can sometimes be NULL,
which is the case when booting a system on QEMU or when the Coresight
power domain isn't switched on.

This patch is adding a check to make sure a NULL string isn't fed
to strcmp(), something that avoid crashing the system.
