ppp: potential NULL dereference in ppp_mp_explode()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Smatch complains because we check whether "pch->chan" is NULL and then
dereference it unconditionally on the next line.  Partly the reason this
bug was introduced is because code was too complicated.  I've simplified
it a little.
