The callers don't expect *d_cdp to be set to an error pointer, they only check for NULL. This leads to a static checker warning: arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/rdtgroup.c:2648 __init_one_rdt_domain() warn: 'd_cdp' could be an error pointer I don't think this will lead to a real life bug, but it's easy enough to change it to be NULL.
