Hello Tuomas Tynkkynen, The patch c4fe70ada40f: "clk: tegra: Add closed loop support for the DFLL" from May 13, 2015 (linux-next), leads to the following Smatch static checker warning: drivers/clk/tegra/clk-dfll.c:1828 dfll_fetch_i2c_params() error: 'regmap' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR() drivers/clk/tegra/clk-dfll.c 1816 static int dfll_fetch_i2c_params(struct tegra_dfll *td) 1817 { 1818 struct regmap *regmap; 1819 struct device *i2c_dev; 1820 struct i2c_client *i2c_client; 1821 int vsel_reg, vsel_mask; 1822 int ret; 1823 1824 if (!read_dt_param(td, "nvidia,i2c-fs-rate", &td->i2c_fs_rate)) 1825 return -EINVAL; 1826 1827 regmap = regulator_get_regmap(td->vdd_reg); regulator_get_regmap() can return error pointers.
