The extcon_get_extcon_dev() function returns error pointers on error and NULL when it's a -EPROBE_DEFER defer situation. There are eight callers and only two of them handled this correctly. In the other callers an error pointer return would lead to a crash. What prevents crashes is that errors can only happen in the case of a bug in the caller or if CONFIG_EXTCON is disabled. Six out of eight callers use the Kconfig to either depend on or select CONFIG_EXTCON. Thus the real life impact of these bugs is tiny. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> --- The two callers where the drivers can be built without CONFIG_EXTCON are TYPEC_FUSB302 and CHARGER_MAX8997. If we apply this patch, it might be a good idea to send it to -stable so that backported code that relies on handling error pointers does not break silently. drivers/extcon/extcon.c | 2 +- drivers/power/supply/axp288_charger.c | 17 ++++++++++------- drivers/power/supply/charger-manager.c | 7 ++----- drivers/power/supply/max8997_charger.c | 10 +++++----- drivers/usb/dwc3/drd.c | 9 ++------- drivers/usb/phy/phy-omap-otg.c | 4 ++-- drivers/usb/typec/tcpm/fusb302.c | 4 ++-- drivers/extcon/extcon-axp288.c | 4 ++-- 8 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 31 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/extcon/extcon.c b/drivers/extcon/extcon.c index e7a9561a826d..a35e99928807 100644 --- a/drivers/extcon/extcon.c +++ b/drivers/extcon/extcon.c @@ -876,7 +876,7 @@ struct extcon_dev *extcon_get_extcon_dev(const char *extcon_name) if (!strcmp(sd->name, extcon_name)) goto out;
