On one hand it's not really a fix, but maybe still add a Fixes: line to ensure it's not backported to older stables? Hmm, I don't know. Best regards Uwe

Hmm, I don't know. Sure. Being extra safe is good. regards, dan carpenter

This NULL check was required when it was added, but we shuffled the code around in commit 1f50db2f3e1e ("drm/msm/mdp5: move resource allocation to the _probe function") and now it's not. The inconsistent NULL checking triggers a Smatch warning: drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/mdp5/mdp5_kms.c:847 mdp5_init() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'mdp5_kms' (see line 782) Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@linaro.org> --- drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/mdp5/mdp5_kms.c | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-)
