`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); /* v------Dereferenced here */ if (gs->v2p8_gpio >= 0) { ... } ``` To avoid the issue, null check has been moved to an earlier point and return semantics has been changed to reflect this exception. Please do note that this change introduces a new return value to `gmin_v2p8_ctrl`. [NEW] - raise a WARN and return -ENODEV if there are no subdevices. - return result of `gpio_request` or `gpio_direction_output`. - return 0 if GPIO is ON. - return results of `regulator_enable` or `regulator_disable`. - according to PMIC type, return result of `axp_regulator_set` or `gmin_i2c_write`. - return -EINVAL if unknown PMIC type.
