`find_gmin_subdev` function that returns a pointer to `struct gmin_subdev` can return NULL. In `gmin_v2p8_ctrl` there's a call to this function but the possibility of a NULL was not checked before its being dereferenced. ie: ``` /* Acquired here --------v */ struct gmin_subdev *gs = find_gmin_subdev(subdev); int ret; int value; /* v------Dereferenced here */ if (gs->v2p8_gpio >= 0) { pr_info("atomisp_gmin_platform: 2.8v power on GPIO %d\n", gs->v2p8_gpio); ret = gpio_request(gs->v2p8_gpio, "camera_v2p8"); if (!ret) ret = gpio_direction_output(gs->v2p8_gpio, 0); if (ret) pr_err("V2P8 GPIO initialization failed\n"); } ``` I have moved the NULL check before deref point.
