From 89f4d45b2752df5d222b5f63919ce59e2d8afaf4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wei Yongjun Date: Fri, 25 Oct 2013 06:34:03 -0300 Subject: [media] saa7164: fix return value check in saa7164_initdev() In case of error, the function kthread_run() returns ERR_PTR() and never returns NULL. The NULL test in the return value check should be replaced with IS_ERR().
