Hi Tobias,
Patch 2780ad42f5fe67 "tty: serial: altera_uart: Use port->regshift to
store bus shift" added a NULL check for platp in altera_uart_probe() but
not consistently through out the function.
drivers/tty/serial/altera_uart.c +553 altera_uart_probe(43)
error: we previously assumed 'platp' could be null.
545 if (platp)
^^^^^^^
checked here.
546 port->regshift = platp->bus_shift;
547 else
548 port->regshift = 0;
549
550 port->line = i;
551 port->type = PORT_ALTERA_UART;
552 port->iotype = SERIAL_IO_MEM;
553 port->uartclk = platp->uartclk;
^^^^^^^
potential NULL dereference?
554 port->ops = &altera_uart_ops;
I don't know the right way to address this.
regards,
dan carpenter
