[ This is not very new, sorry. -dan ] Hello Patrice Chotard, This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings. The patch d2752ae54d4a: "pinctrl: abx500: fix abx500_gpio_dbg_show_one() to show pull up/down" from May 24, 2013, leads to the following Smatch complaint: drivers/pinctrl/nomadik/pinctrl-abx500.c:623 abx500_gpio_dbg_show_one() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'pctldev' (see line 573) drivers/pinctrl/nomadik/pinctrl-abx500.c 572 { 573 struct abx500_pinctrl *pct = pinctrl_dev_get_drvdata(pctldev); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Patch adds a new unchecked dereference. 574 const char *label = gpiochip_is_requested(chip, offset - 1); 575 u8 gpio_offset = offset - 1; 576 int mode = -1; 577 bool is_out; 578 bool pd; 579 enum abx500_gpio_pull_updown pud = 0; 580 int ret; 581 582 const char *modes[] = { 583 [ABX500_DEFAULT] = "default", 584 [ABX500_ALT_A] = "altA", 585 [ABX500_ALT_B] = "altB", 586 [ABX500_ALT_C] = "altC", 587 }; 588 589 const char *pull_up_down[] = { 590 [ABX500_GPIO_PULL_DOWN] = "pull down", 591 [ABX500_GPIO_PULL_NONE] = "pull none", 592 [ABX500_GPIO_PULL_NONE + 1] = "pull none", 593 [ABX500_GPIO_PULL_UP] = "pull up", 594 }; 595 596 ret = abx500_gpio_get_bit(chip, AB8500_GPIO_DIR1_REG, 597 gpio_offset, &is_out); 598 if (ret < 0) 599 goto out; 600 601 seq_printf(s, " gpio-%-3d (%-20.20s) %-3s", 602 gpio, label ?: "(none)", 603 is_out ?
