| Series | [v2] drm/gma500: fix null pointer dereference in psb_intel_lvds_get_modes | expand |

Add a check to avoid npd. A) Can a wording approach (like the following) be a better change description? A null pointer is stored in the local variable “mode” after a call of the function “drm_mode_duplicate” failed. This pointer was passed to a subsequent call of the function “drm_mode_probed_add” where an undesirable dereference will be performed then. Thus add a corresponding return value check. B) How do you think about to append parentheses to the function name in the summary phrase? C) How do you think about to put similar results from static source code analyses into corresponding patch series? Regards, Markus

In psb_intel_lvds_get_modes(), the return value of drm_mode_duplicate() is assigned to mode, which will lead to a possible NULL pointer dereference on failure of drm_mode_duplicate(). Add a check to avoid npd.
