Hello,
The Coccinelle semantic patch "deref_null.cocci" pointed out a potential
problem in the implementation of the function "dtsec_config" (lines 1434-1439):
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fman/fman_dtsec.c?idåa03bfd873c29eb786655ef2e95e53ed242b404#n1434
…
dtsec->tbiphy = of_phy_find_device(params->internal_phy_node);
if (!dtsec->tbiphy) {
pr_err("of_phy_find_device (TBI PHY) failed\n");
put_device(&dtsec->tbiphy->mdio.dev);
goto err_dtsec_drv_param;
}
…
If the pointer "dtsec->tbiphy" is NULL, then it will especially matter
if the shown address computation will succeed.
Should the call of the function "put_device" be removed,
or was another argument intended?
Regards,
Markus

I think you can remove the put_device() line.

Agreed.
of_phy_find_device() only does a get_device() when it finds a matching
device.

The Coccinelle semantic patch script "deref_null.cocci" pointed a problem
out in the implementation of the function "dtsec_config".
A null pointer was assigned to the data structure member "tbiphy" of the
variable "dtsec" if a matching device was not found.
A call of the function "put_device" was unnecessary then because
a previous call of the function "get_device" was not triggered.
Thus remove the function call "put_device" after the printing of the
desired error message.
