How can we asses the validity or the risk of this problem?
How would I know if this matches e.g. a bug report reported by a user?

Describe the problem such that the reviewer can asses the validity and
severity of your bug fixes.

You use the work "fix" a few time, are you fixing an actual bug? Are you
just guarding the driver from incorrect usage?

If it's a fix, then add Fixes and Cc: stable here.

Use dev_err() and write your error messages such that they make sense
without the use of __func__.

Is this expected to happen during normal operation, or is this a sign of
a bug?


Neither of the two callers of this function checks the return value, so
is this really going to result in a good system state?


It would make sense to require the client to pass valid rt and cfg
pointers, and if you have an issue in the client driver in which we
might end up with invalid points, then those drivers should be fixed -
rather than relying on chance and swipe it under the rug here.
