Subject: [PATCH 5.7 090/163] crypto: cavium/nitrox - Fix nitrox_get_first_device() when ndevlist is fully iterated

From: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@...adoo.fr>

commit 320bdbd816156f9ca07e5fed7bfb449f2908dda7 upstream.

When a list is completely iterated with 'list_for_each_entry(x, ...)', x is
not NULL at the end.

While at it, remove a useless initialization of the ndev variable. It
is overridden by 'list_for_each_entry'.

Fixes: f2663872f073 ("crypto: cavium - Register the CNN55XX supported crypto algorithms.")
