There are following smatch warning: drivers/phy/realtek/phy-rtk-usb2.c:901 get_phy_data_by_efuse() error: 'buf' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR() drivers/phy/realtek/phy-rtk-usb2.c:942 get_phy_data_by_efuse() error: 'buf' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR() drivers/phy/realtek/phy-rtk-usb3.c:460 get_phy_data_by_efuse() error: 'buf' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR() The nvmem_cell_read may fail to read. So, driver must handle failure cases.
