Subject: efi_memory: avoid possible null pointer dereference
X-Git-Url: http://git.dujemihanovic.xyz/%22http:/www.sics.se/static/git-favicon.png?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7aa0addc42ef1674a7baaf9d0428db943c3f2e5f;p=u-boot.git

efi_memory: avoid possible null pointer dereference

Populate the previous memory descriptor node pointer only after it's
parent struct has been initialised. The compiler fixes this logic to
do the right thing, but it is better to have correct code in place.
