Some pointers are dereferenced before successful checks.
I suggest to reconsider and improve the change description.

* Would a null pointer dereference be possible only with the variables “mep”
  and “mreq” in the implementation of the function “mtu3_gadget_dequeue”?

* How do you think about to adjust any more variable initialisations?

* Will it become helpful to add the tag “Fixes” to the commit message?

Hi,

This is the semi-friendly patch-bot of Greg Kroah-Hartman.

Markus, you seem to have sent a nonsensical or otherwise pointless
review comment to a patch submission on a Linux kernel developer mailing
list.  I strongly suggest that you not do this anymore.  Please do not
bother developers who are actively working to produce patches and
features with comments that, in the end, are a waste of time.

Patch submitter, please ignore Markus's suggestion; you do not need to
follow it at all.  The person/bot/AI that sent it is being ignored by
almost all Linux kernel maintainers for having a persistent pattern of
behavior of producing distracting and pointless commentary, and
inability to adapt to feedback.  Please feel free to also ignore emails
from them.

thanks,

greg k-h's patch email bot
