Smatch static checker warns that "mdev" can be null: sound/usb/media.c:287 snd_media_device_create() warn: 'mdev' can also be NULL If CONFIG_MEDIA_CONTROLLER is disabled, this file should not be included in the build. The below conditions in the sound/usb/Makefile are in place to ensure that media.c isn't included in the build. sound/usb/Makefile: snd-usb-audio-$(CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO_USE_MEDIA_CONTROLLER) += media.o select SND_USB_AUDIO_USE_MEDIA_CONTROLLER if MEDIA_CONTROLLER && (MEDIA_SUPPORT=y || MEDIA_SUPPORT=SND_USB_AUDIO) The following config check in include/media/media-dev-allocator.h is in place to enable the API only when CONFIG_MEDIA_CONTROLLER and CONFIG_USB are enabled. #if defined(CONFIG_MEDIA_CONTROLLER) && defined(CONFIG_USB) This check doesn't work as intended when CONFIG_USB=m. When CONFIG_USB=m, CONFIG_USB_MODULE is defined and CONFIG_USB is not. The above config check doesn't catch that CONFIG_USB is defined as a module and disables the API. This results in sound/usb enabling Media Controller specific ALSA driver code, while Media disables the Media Controller API. Fix the problem requires two changes: 1. Change the check to use IS_ENABLED to detect when CONFIG_USB is enabled as a module or static. Since CONFIG_MEDIA_CONTROLLER is a bool, leave the check unchanged to be consistent with drivers/media/Makefile. 2. Change the drivers/media/mc/Makefile to include mc-dev-allocator.o in mc-objs when CONFIG_USB is y or m.
