You can only end up calling renesas_usb3_role_switch_set() if your hd3ss3220->role_sw contains a handle to the renesas usb3 role switch. > Fixes: 5a9a8a4c5058 ("usb: typec: hd3ss3220: hd3ss3220_probe() warn: passing zero to 'PTR_ERR'") > Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Signed-off-by: Biju Das <biju.das.jz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > --- > This issue triggered on RZ/G2E board, where there is no USB3 firmware and it > returned a null role switch handle. > > v1->v2: > * Make it as individual patch > * Added Cc tag > --- > drivers/usb/typec/hd3ss3220.c | 5 ++++- > 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/usb/typec/hd3ss3220.c b/drivers/usb/typec/hd3ss3220.c > index 2a58185fb14c..c24bbccd14f9 100644 > --- a/drivers/usb/typec/hd3ss3220.c > +++ b/drivers/usb/typec/hd3ss3220.c > @@ -186,7 +186,10 @@ static int hd3ss3220_probe(struct i2c_client *client, > hd3ss3220->role_sw = usb_role_switch_get(hd3ss3220->dev); > } > > - if (IS_ERR(hd3ss3220->role_sw)) { > + if (!hd3ss3220->role_sw) { > + ret = -ENODEV; > + goto err_put_fwnode; > + } else if (IS_ERR(hd3ss3220->role_sw)) { > ret = PTR_ERR(hd3ss3220->role_sw); > goto err_put_fwnode; > } You should not do that. Either I'm missing something, or this patch is hiding some other issue. thanks, -- heikki
