Hello Matt Ranostay, The patch 92f0afb5b2be: "iio: adc: ti-adc161s626: add regulator support" from Sep 18, 2016, leads to the following static checker warning: drivers/iio/adc/ti-adc161s626.c:237 ti_adc_probe() error: 'data->ref' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR() drivers/iio/adc/ti-adc161s626.c 214 215 data->ref = devm_regulator_get(&spi->dev, "vdda"); 216 if (!IS_ERR(data->ref)) { 217 ret = regulator_enable(data->ref); 218 if (ret < 0) 219 return ret; 220 } This code assumes that devm_regulator_get() can fail and we continue with what we have, but none of the rest of the driver assumes that. 221 222 ret = iio_triggered_buffer_setup(indio_dev, NULL, 223 ti_adc_trigger_handler, NULL); 224 if (ret) 225 goto error_regulator_disable; 226 227 ret = iio_device_register(indio_dev); 228 if (ret) 229 goto error_unreg_buffer; 230 231 return 0; 232 233 error_unreg_buffer: 234 iio_triggered_buffer_cleanup(indio_dev); 235 236 error_regulator_disable: 237 regulator_disable(data->ref); Every reference to "data->ref" needs to be updated to wrapped in "if (!IS_ERR(data->ref)) " otherwise it will oops. 238 239 return ret; 240 } regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-iio" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
