[PATCH] video: fbdev: sm501fb: fix potential null pointer dereference on fbi

Subsystem: framebuffer layer, the rest · Maintainers: Helge Deller, Linus Torvalds

From: Colin Ian King <redacted>

The pointer fbi is dereferenced with par = fbi->par before there is a
null check on fbi, hence there is a potential null pointer dereference
on a null par.  Fix this by moving the dereference after the null
pointer check.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1461301 ("Dereference before null check")
