Subject: Re: [PATCH] orinoco: avoid assertion in case of NULL pointer

> The patch replaces the BUG_ON call to error return.

Would a wording like “Replace the BUG_ON() call by a return of an error code
after a null pointer check” be nicer for this change description?

Will the tag “Fixes” become helpful here?
