ic_close_dev contains a generalization of the logic to not close a
network interface if it's the host port for a DSA switch. This logic is
disguised behind an iteration through the lowers of ic_dev in
ic_close_dev.
When no interface for ipconfig can be found, ic_dev is NULL, and
ic_close_dev:
- dereferences a NULL pointer when assigning selected_dev
- would attempt to search through the lower interfaces of a NULL
net_device pointer
So we should protect against that case.
The "lower_dev" iterator variable was shortened to "lower" in order to
keep the 80 character limit.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
