Hello Abhinav Kumar, Commit d7d0e73f7de3 ("drm/msm/dpu: introduce the dpu_encoder_phys_* for writeback") from Apr 26, 2022 (linux-next), leads to the following Smatch static checker warning: drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_encoder_phys_wb.c:546 dpu_encoder_phys_wb_disable() error: we previously assumed 'phys_enc->hw_ctl->ops.clear_pending_flush' could be null (see line 532) drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_encoder_phys_wb.c 519 static void dpu_encoder_phys_wb_disable(struct dpu_encoder_phys *phys_enc) 520 { 521 struct dpu_hw_wb *hw_wb = phys_enc->hw_wb; 522 struct dpu_hw_ctl *hw_ctl = phys_enc->hw_ctl; 523 524 DPU_DEBUG("[wb:%d]\n", hw_wb->idx - WB_0); 525 526 if (phys_enc->enable_state == DPU_ENC_DISABLED) { 527 DPU_ERROR("encoder is already disabled\n"); 528 return; 529 } 530 531 /* reset h/w before final flush */ 532 if (phys_enc->hw_ctl->ops.clear_pending_flush) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Probably this check can be deleted 533 phys_enc->hw_ctl->ops.clear_pending_flush(phys_enc->hw_ctl); 534 535 /* 536 * New CTL reset sequence from 5.0 MDP onwards. 537 * If has_3d_merge_reset is not set, legacy reset 538 * sequence is executed. 539 * 540 * Legacy reset sequence has not been implemented yet. 541 * Any target earlier than SM8150 will need it and when 542 * WB support is added to those targets will need to add 543 * the legacy teardown sequence as well. 544 */ 545 if (hw_ctl->caps->features & BIT(DPU_CTL_ACTIVE_CFG)) --> 546 dpu_encoder_helper_phys_cleanup(phys_enc); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Because dpu_encoder_helper_phys_cleanup() calls it without checking at on the last line in the function. 547 548 phys_enc->enable_state = DPU_ENC_DISABLED; 549 } regards, dan carpenter
