Cppcheck complains of a possible issue: sound/soc/codecs/cros_ec_codec.c:98:10: warning: Possible null pointer dereference: in [nullPointer] memcpy(in, msg->data, insize); ^ sound/soc/codecs/cros_ec_codec.c:162:34: note: Calling function 'send_ec_host_command', 5th argument 'NULL' value is 0 (uint8_t *)&p, sizeof(p), NULL, 0); ^ sound/soc/codecs/cros_ec_codec.c:98:10: note: Null pointer dereference memcpy(in, msg->data, insize); ^ In practice the access to the pointer is protected by another argument, but this is likely to fool other static analysis tools. Add a test to avoid doing the memcpy if the pointer is NULL or the size is zero.
