If rtsx_probe fails to allocate dev->chip, then NULL pointer
dereference occurs at rtsx_release_resources().

Patch adds checks chip on NULL before its dereference at
rtsx_release_resources and passing with dereference inside
rtsx_release_chip.

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).

I think you should bail out if dev->chip is null rather than adding
conditiinals.

I'm wondering if it's false positive. At which circumstances that may happen?

Only if dev->chip allocation fails. Code tries to cleanup prior resources by calling clean_everything() function which ends up in rtsx_release_resources()
