Hello Piyush Mehta, The patch 9a9d3abe24bb: "ata: ahci: ceva: Update the driver to support xilinx GT phy" from Feb 8, 2021, leads to the following static checker warning: drivers/ata/ahci_ceva.c:213 ceva_ahci_probe() warn: pointer error 'PTR_ERR(cevapriv->rst)' not handled drivers/ata/ahci_ceva.c 192 static int ceva_ahci_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) 193 { 194 struct device_node *np = pdev->dev.of_node; 195 struct device *dev = &pdev->dev; 196 struct ahci_host_priv *hpriv; 197 struct ceva_ahci_priv *cevapriv; 198 enum dev_dma_attr attr; 199 int rc; 200 201 cevapriv = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(*cevapriv), GFP_KERNEL); 202 if (!cevapriv) 203 return -ENOMEM; 204 205 cevapriv->ahci_pdev = pdev; 206 207 cevapriv->rst = devm_reset_control_get_optional_exclusive(&pdev->dev, 208 NULL); 209 if (IS_ERR(cevapriv->rst)) 210 dev_err_probe(&pdev->dev, PTR_ERR(cevapriv->rst), 211 "failed to get reset\n"); The function just continues if "cevapriv->rst" is an error pointer. We should probably return an error, because the user asked us to do something and we failed. Another option is to set it to NULL. 212 213 hpriv = ahci_platform_get_resources(pdev, 0); 214 if (IS_ERR(hpriv)) 215 return PTR_ERR(hpriv); 216 217 if (!cevapriv->rst) { It's an error pointer so it's not NULL 218 rc = ahci_platform_enable_resources(hpriv); 219 if (rc) 220 return rc; 221 } else { 222 int i; 223 224 rc = ahci_platform_enable_clks(hpriv); 225 if (rc) 226 return rc; 227 /* Assert the controller reset */ 228 reset_control_assert(cevapriv->rst); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This will trigger a WARN_ON(). 229 230 for (i = 0; i < hpriv->nports; i++) { 231 rc = phy_init(hpriv->phys[i]); regards, dan carpenter
