I fully respect these kind of tools and they for sure find lots of problems for us. However, in this case I think the fix should be made a bit differently, see more below. > > Signed-off-by: Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@xxxxxxxxx> > --- > drivers/mmc/host/dw_mmc.c | 5 +++-- > 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/mmc/host/dw_mmc.c b/drivers/mmc/host/dw_mmc.c > index faaaf52a46d2..91bd6c3ccf50 100644 > --- a/drivers/mmc/host/dw_mmc.c > +++ b/drivers/mmc/host/dw_mmc.c > @@ -3455,11 +3455,12 @@ int dw_mci_runtime_resume(struct device *dev) > mci_writel(host, CTRL, SDMMC_CTRL_INT_ENABLE); > > > - if (host->slot->mmc->pm_flags & MMC_PM_KEEP_POWER) > + if (host->slot && (host->slot->mmc->pm_flags & MMC_PM_KEEP_POWER)) > dw_mci_set_ios(host->slot->mmc, &host->slot->mmc->ios); Unless I missing something (still in "slow mode" due to holidays), dw_mci_runtime_suspend|resume() should only be called when there is a slot (host->slot) initialized for the host.

And if there really were, I am sure there would have been bug reports already about it. Kind regards Uffe
