As you say, there is no way this will ever be the case, I don't see the point of checking the return value, this adds 12 bytes for nothing... Maybe coverity should be fixed as there are many drivers making the same (true) assumption and I don't think this is worth the churn. > Addresses-Coverity: Dereference null return value > Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Kozlowski <krzysztof.kozlow...@canonical.com> > --- > drivers/memory/atmel-sdramc.c | 2 ++ > 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/drivers/memory/atmel-sdramc.c b/drivers/memory/atmel-sdramc.c > index 9c49d00c2a96..e09b2617f63d 100644 > --- a/drivers/memory/atmel-sdramc.c > +++ b/drivers/memory/atmel-sdramc.c > @@ -45,6 +45,8 @@ static int atmel_ramc_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) > struct clk *clk; > > caps = of_device_get_match_data(&pdev->dev); > + if (!caps) > + return -EINVAL; > > if (caps->has_ddrck) { > clk = devm_clk_get(&pdev->dev, "ddrck"); > -- > 2.25.1 > -- Alexandre Belloni, co-owner and COO, Bootlin Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering https://bootlin.com
