This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled media: s5p-mfc: fix possible null-pointer dereference in s5p_mfc_probe() to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: media-s5p-mfc-fix-possible-null-pointer-dereference-.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b5a66d6d481ae7b82fb1c072afabde0d493ec0fc Author: Tuo Li <islituo@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Aug 5 09:55:35 2021 +0200 media: s5p-mfc: fix possible null-pointer dereference in s5p_mfc_probe() [ Upstream commit 8515965e5e33f4feb56134348c95953f3eadfb26 ] The variable pdev is assigned to dev->plat_dev, and dev->plat_dev is checked in: if (!dev->plat_dev) This indicates both dev->plat_dev and pdev can be NULL. If so, the function dev_err() is called to print error information. dev_err(&pdev->dev, "No platform data specified\n"); However, &pdev->dev is an illegal address, and it is dereferenced in dev_err(). To fix this possible null-pointer dereference, replace dev_err() with mfc_err().
