Hello Vinod Koul,
The patch d62a7d41f38e: "soundwire: intel: Add Intel init module" from Dec 14, 2017, leads to the following static checker warning:
drivers/soundwire/intel_init.c:154 sdw_intel_acpi_cb() error: uninitialized symbol 'adev'.
drivers/soundwire/intel_init.c 147 static acpi_status sdw_intel_acpi_cb(acpi_handle handle, u32 level, 148 void *cdata, void **return_value) 149 { 150 struct sdw_intel_res *res = cdata; 151 struct acpi_device *adev; 152 153 if (acpi_bus_get_device(handle, &adev)) { 154 dev_err(&adev->dev, "Couldn't find ACPI handle\n"); 155 return AE_NOT_FOUND;
We can't dereference "adev" if the acpi_bus_get_device() fails.
156 } 157 158 res->handle = handle; 159 return AE_OK; 160 }
