The address of a data structure member was determined before
a corresponding null pointer check in the implementation of
the function “ics5342_init”.
Thus avoid the risk for undefined behaviour by moving the assignment
for the variable “info” behind a condition check.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

ics5342_init() allocation type")
