Hello William Wu, The patch 0c42fe48fd23: "phy: rockchip-inno-usb2: support otg-port for rk3399" from Nov 7, 2016, leads to the following static checker warning: drivers/phy/phy-rockchip-inno-usb2.c:998 rockchip_usb2phy_otg_port_init() warn: 'rphy->edev' isn't an ERR_PTR drivers/phy/phy-rockchip-inno-usb2.c 989 ret = devm_request_threaded_irq(rphy->dev, rport->bvalid_irq, NULL, 990 rockchip_usb2phy_bvalid_irq, 991 IRQF_ONESHOT, 992 "rockchip_usb2phy_bvalid", rport); 993 if (ret) { 994 dev_err(rphy->dev, "failed to request otg-bvalid irq handle\n"); 995 goto out; 996 } 997 998 if (!IS_ERR(rphy->edev)) { I think the static checker is correct that this check should be removed. The rest of the code assumes ->edev is a valid pointer. 999 rport->event_nb.notifier_call = rockchip_otg_event; 1000 1001 ret = extcon_register_notifier(rphy->edev, EXTCON_USB_HOST, 1002 &rport->event_nb); 1003 if (ret) 1004 dev_err(rphy->dev, "register USB HOST notifier failed\n"); 1005 } 1006 1007 out: 1008 return ret; 1009 } regards, dan carpenter
