From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Currently when the call to dev_get_platdata returns null the driver issues a warning and then later dereferences the null pointer. Avoid this issue by returning -EPROBE_DEFER errror rather when the platform data is null. Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference after null check") Fixes: 211010aeb097 ("dmaengine: ti: omap-dma: Pass sdma auxdata to driver and use it") Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/dma/ti/omap-dma.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/dma/ti/omap-dma.c b/drivers/dma/ti/omap-dma.c index fc8f7b2fc7b3..335c3fa7a3b1 100644 --- a/drivers/dma/ti/omap-dma.c +++ b/drivers/dma/ti/omap-dma.c @@ -1658,8 +1658,10 @@ static int omap_dma_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) if (conf) { od->cfg = conf; od->plat = dev_get_platdata(&pdev->dev); - if (!od->plat) + if (!od->plat) { dev_warn(&pdev->dev, "no sdma auxdata needed?\n"); + return -EPROBE_DEFER; + } } else { od->cfg = &default_cfg; -- 2.24.0
