[Yuanhan Liu]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 16.11.1

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable
yet. It will be pushed if I get no objections before 01/28/17.
So please shout if anyone has objections.

Note 16.11 is a LTS release. v16.11.1 is planned to be released
shortly (about 2-3 weeks) after v17.02.

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] pmdinfogen: fix null dereference

[ upstream commit 348e470bc6be6f28fc197f6d2dc4f3cebb43e719 ]

Coverity reports a forward null dereference from a for loop
that works with a variable previously tested for null that had no error
handling or condition to prevent it.  Pretty obvious fix below.

Coverity issue: 139593
Fixes: 98b0fdb0ffc6 ("pmdinfogen: add buildtools and pmdinfogen utility")
