drivers/message/fusion/mptsas.c: inconsequent NULL checking
The Coverity checker spotted the following inconsequent NULL checking in drivers/message/fusion/mptsas.c:
<-- snip -->
...
static voidmptsas_delete_expander_phys(MPT_ADAPTER *ioc)
{
...
if (port_info->phy_info &&
(!(port_info->phy_info[0].identify.device_info &
MPI_SAS_DEVICE_INFO_SMP_TARGET)))
continue;
if (mptsas_sas_expander_pg0(ioc, &buffer,
(MPI_SAS_EXPAND_PGAD_FORM_HANDLE <<
MPI_SAS_EXPAND_PGAD_FORM_SHIFT),
port_info->phy_info[0].handle)) {...
<-- snip -->
port_info->phy_info is first checked but later dereferenced unconditionally.
