Hello Jeeja KP,
The patch 754695f9960b: "ASoC: hdac_hdmi: Begin to add support for DP Multi-stream audio" from Feb 6, 2017, leads to the following static checker warning:
sound/soc/codecs/hdac_hdmi.c:742 hdac_hdmi_set_pin_port_mux() error: we previously assumed 'pcm->port' could be null (see line 741)
sound/soc/codecs/hdac_hdmi.c 719 static int hdac_hdmi_set_pin_port_mux(struct snd_kcontrol *kcontrol, 720 struct snd_ctl_elem_value *ucontrol) 721 { 722 int ret; 723 struct soc_enum *e = (struct soc_enum *)kcontrol->private_value; 724 struct snd_soc_dapm_widget *w = snd_soc_dapm_kcontrol_widget(kcontrol); 725 struct snd_soc_dapm_context *dapm = w->dapm; 726 struct hdac_hdmi_port *port = w->priv; 727 struct hdac_ext_device *edev = to_hda_ext_device(dapm->dev); 728 struct hdac_hdmi_priv *hdmi = edev->private_data; 729 struct hdac_hdmi_pcm *pcm = NULL; 730 const char *cvt_name = e->texts[ucontrol->value.enumerated.item[0]]; 731 732 ret = snd_soc_dapm_put_enum_double(kcontrol, ucontrol); 733 if (ret < 0) 734 return ret; 735 736 if (port == NULL) 737 return -EINVAL; 738 739 mutex_lock(&hdmi->pin_mutex); 740 list_for_each_entry(pcm, &hdmi->pcm_list, head) { 741 if (!pcm->port && pcm->port == port && ^^^^^^^^^ test
742 pcm->port->id == port->id) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ dereference
743 pcm->port = NULL; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Perhaps the NULL test is reversed?
