Subject: [BUG] media: pci: cx18: a possible null-pointer dereference in
 cx18_vapi()

In cx18_vapi(), when cx is NULL, it is still used on line 833:
     CX18_ERR("cx == NULL (cmd=%x)\n", cmd);
          v4l2_err(&cx->v4l2_dev, fmt , ## args)

Thus, a possible null-pointer dereference may occur.

This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.

I do not know how to correctly fix this bug, so I only report it.


Best wishes,
