The variable pdev is assigned to dev->plat_dev, and dev->plat_dev is checked in: if (!dev->plat_dev) This indicates both dev->plat_dev and pdev can be NULL. If so, the function dev_err() is called to print error infomation. dev_err(&pdev->dev, "No platform data specified\n"); However, &pdev->dev is an illegal address, and it is dereferenced in dev_err(). To fix this possible null-pointer dereference, replace dev_err() with mfc_err().
