See for example, how this is handled in ucsi_register_partner(). Then these checks can be turned into simple `if (port->partner)`. > + typec_partner_set_identity(port->partner); > > tcpm_log(port, "Identity: %04x:%04x.%04x", > PD_IDH_VID(vdo), > @@ -1742,6 +1742,9 @@ static void tcpm_register_partner_altmodes(struct tcpm_port *port) > struct typec_altmode *altmode; > int i; > > + if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(port->partner)) > + return; > + > for (i = 0; i < modep->altmodes; i++) { > altmode = typec_partner_register_altmode(port->partner, > &modep->altmode_desc[i]); > @@ -4244,7 +4247,8 @@ static void tcpm_typec_connect(struct tcpm_port *port) > port->partner = typec_register_partner(port->typec_port, > &port->partner_desc); > port->connected = true; > - typec_partner_set_usb_power_delivery(port->partner, port->partner_pd); > + if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(port->partner)) > + typec_partner_set_usb_power_delivery(port->partner, port->partner_pd); > } > } > > @@ -4323,8 +4327,10 @@ static void tcpm_typec_disconnect(struct tcpm_port *port) > port->plug_prime = NULL; > port->cable = NULL; > if (port->connected) { > - typec_partner_set_usb_power_delivery(port->partner, NULL); > - typec_unregister_partner(port->partner); > + if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(port->partner)) { > + typec_partner_set_usb_power_delivery(port->partner, NULL); > + typec_unregister_partner(port->partner); > + } > port->partner = NULL; > port->connected = false; > } > @@ -4549,6 +4555,9 @@ static enum typec_cc_status tcpm_pwr_opmode_to_rp(enum typec_pwr_opmode opmode) > > static void tcpm_set_initial_svdm_version(struct tcpm_port *port) > { > + if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(port->partner)) > + return; > + > switch (port->negotiated_rev) { > case PD_REV30: > break; > > base-commit: 3f12222a4bebeb13ce06ddecc1610ad32fa835dd > -- > 2.44.0.769.g3c40516874-goog > -- With best wishes Dmitry
