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 -ENODEV errror rather when the platform data is null and change the warning to an appropriate error message. 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> --- V2: return -ENODEV and change warning to an error message as suggested by Peter Ujfalusi. --- drivers/dma/ti/omap-dma.c | 6 ++++-- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/dma/ti/omap-dma.c b/drivers/dma/ti/omap-dma.c index fc8f7b2fc7b3..a93515015dce 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) - dev_warn(&pdev->dev, "no sdma auxdata needed?\n"); + if (!od->plat) { + dev_err(&pdev->dev, "omap_system_dma_plat_info is missing"); + return -ENODEV; + } } else { od->cfg = &default_cfg; -- 2.24.0
