smatch error:
drivers/gpu/drm/ast/ast_dp501.c:227 ast_launch_m68k() error:
we previously assumed 'ast->dp501_fw' could be null (see line 223)

when "!ast->dp501_fw" and "ast_load_dp501_microcode(dev) >= 0" is true,
there will be a NULL dereference of 'ast->dp501_fw'.

Hi,

this looks like a false positive.

If "!ast->dp501_fw", and ast_load_dp501_microcode()>=0, then ast_load_dp501_microcode() will set a valid value in ast->dp501_fw.
