mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.10-rc1 commit 789c17185fb0f39560496c2beab9b57ce1d0cbe7 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/IAD028 CVE: CVE-2024-40982

Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i...

--------------------------------

The ssb_device_uevent() function first attempts to convert the 'dev' pointer to 'struct ssb_device *'. However, it mistakenly dereferences 'dev' before performing the NULL check, potentially leading to a NULL pointer dereference if 'dev' is NULL.

To fix this issue, move the NULL check before dereferencing the 'dev' pointer, ensuring that the pointer is valid before attempting to use it.
