If the platform_data is not set, pdata will be uninitialized value. Since the driver has the following code, if the condition is true when the pdata is uninitialized value, the driver may jump to the illegal phy_init(). if (pdata && pdata->phy_init) pdata->phy_init(); This patch also fixes the following warning: CC drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.o drivers/usb/host/ehci-sh.c: In function ‘ehci_hcd_sh_probe’: drivers/usb/host/ehci-sh.c:104: warning: ‘pdata’ may be used uninitialized in this function Signed-off-by: Yoshihiro Shimoda <yoshihiro.shimoda.uh@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- about v2: - modify the patch description about phy_init() drivers/usb/host/ehci-sh.c | 3 +-- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/usb/host/ehci-sh.c b/drivers/usb/host/ehci-sh.c index ca819cd..e7cb392 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/host/ehci-sh.c +++ b/drivers/usb/host/ehci-sh.c @@ -126,8 +126,7 @@ static int ehci_hcd_sh_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) goto fail_create_hcd; } - if (pdev->dev.platform_data != NULL) - pdata = pdev->dev.platform_data; + pdata = pdev->dev.platform_data; /* initialize hcd */ hcd = usb_create_hcd(&ehci_sh_hc_driver, &pdev->dev, -- 1.7.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
