This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled drm/msm/dsi: invalid parameter check in msm_dsi_phy_enable to the 5.16-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: drm-msm-dsi-invalid-parameter-check-in-msm_dsi_phy_e.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.16 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 16f7a98ea162128a54e6d28253c1a5acc043a54d Author: José Expósito <jose.exposito89@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Jan 16 19:18:44 2022 +0100 drm/msm/dsi: invalid parameter check in msm_dsi_phy_enable [ Upstream commit 5e761a2287234bc402ba7ef07129f5103bcd775c ] The function performs a check on the "phy" input parameter, however, it is used before the check. Initialize the "dev" variable after the sanity check to avoid a possible NULL pointer dereference.
