Subject: [PATCH] fbdev: ssd1307fb: fix NULL pointer dereference on missing match data
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 16:58:15 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <tencent_93CDCEC8A5EA657378E58B59854679079C0A@qq.com> (raw)
device_get_match_data() can return NULL, e.g. when the device is matched
through the I2C device ID table rather than the OF match table. The
returned value is stored in par->device_info and later dereferenced when
initializing par->vcomh, causing a NULL pointer dereference.
Check the return value right after the assignment and bail out with
-ENODEV (releasing the already allocated framebuffer) before any
dereference.
