[PATCH 3.18 072/121] [media] cx25840: fix unchecked return values

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Pan Bian <bianpan2...@163.com>


[ Upstream commit 35378ce143071c2a6bad4b59a000e9b9f8f6ea67 ]

In functions cx25840_initialize(), cx231xx_initialize(), and
cx23885_initialize(), the return value of create_singlethread_workqueue()
is used without validation. This may result in NULL dereference and cause
kernel crash. This patch fixes it.
