When building with -Wsometimes-uninitialized, Clang warns: drivers/scsi/gdth.c:3662:6: warning: variable 'paddr' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Wsometimes-uninitialized] Don't attempt to call dma_free_coherent when buf is NULL (meaning that we never called dma_alloc_coherent and initialized paddr), which avoids this warning.
