devm_kasprintf() may return NULL on failure of internal allocation thus the assignment to .label is not safe if not checked. On error npcm7xx_gpio_of() returns negative values so -ENOMEM in the (unlikely) failure case of devm_kasprintf() should be fine here. Signed-off-by: Nicholas Mc Guire <hofrat@xxxxxxxxx> Fixes: 3b588e43ee5c ("pinctrl: nuvoton: add NPCM7xx pinctrl and GPIO driver") --- Problem located with experimental coccinelle script The only call-site is the probe function (npcm7xx_pinctrl_probe()) wich will bail out on error - it seems like no further cleanup is expected. Also while the code generally uses the if (!var) construct that would not be very readable in this case so I think the: if (pctrl->gpio_bank[id].gc.label == NULL) is more appropriate here not sure though what the general preference is.
