Given that this can only be caused by a developer working on this driver you should provide feedback suitable for such developer, e.g. by: if (WARN_ON(!var_info)) return -EINVAL; But given that this is only for the developer himself, I don't see that this adds any value over just reading the callstack you get from the panic when the next line dereferences var_info (NULL).
