Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
net: marvell: prestera: fix NULL dereference on devlink_alloc() failure<br />
<br />
devlink_alloc() may return NULL on allocation failure, but<br />
prestera_devlink_alloc() unconditionally calls devlink_priv() on<br />
the returned pointer.<br />
<br />
This leads to a NULL pointer dereference if devlink allocation fails.<br />
Add a check for a NULL devlink pointer and return NULL early to avoid<br />
the crash.
