Hello Jeeja KP,

This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.

The patch 4a3478debf36: "ASoC: hdac_hdmi: Add jack reporting" from Feb 12, 2016, leads to the following Smatch complaint:

sound/soc/codecs/hdac_hdmi.c:971 hdac_hdmi_present_sense() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'edev' (see line 967)

sound/soc/codecs/hdac_hdmi.c 966 struct hdac_ext_device *edev = pin->edev; 967 struct hdac_hdmi_priv *hdmi = edev->private_data; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Patch introduces a new dereference.

968 struct hdac_hdmi_pcm *pcm; 969 int val; 970 971 if (!edev) ^^^^^ Existing code assumed that edev could be NULL.

972 return; 973

regards, dan carpenter
