Fix a cut&paste error in find_pipeline_entity(). The start entity must be passed to media_entity_to_video_device() in find_pipeline_entity(), not pad->entity. The pad is only put to use later, after determining the start entity is not the entity being searched for.

Can we also remove the "pad = NULL" assignment at the start of the function? Otherwise static checkers and new versions of GCC will warn that the assignment isn't used. Plus removing the initialization will prevent bugs like this in the future. regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
