Subject: [PATCH v2] pinctrl: eswin: Fix regulator error check and Kconfig dependency
Date: Wed, 3 Sep 2025 17:19:15 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250903091915.2026-1-luyulin@eswincomputing.com> (raw)
Smatch reported the following warning in eic7700_pinctrl_probe():
drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-eic7700.c:638 eic7700_pinctrl_probe()
warn: passing zero to 'PTR_ERR'
The root cause is that devm_regulator_get() may return NULL when
CONFIG_REGULATOR is disabled. In such case, IS_ERR_OR_NULL() triggers
PTR_ERR(NULL) which evaluates to 0, leading to passing a success code
as an error.
However, this driver cannot work without a regulator. To fix this:
- Change the check from IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to IS_ERR()
- Update Kconfig to explicitly select REGULATOR and
REGULATOR_FIXED_VOLTAGE, ensuring that the regulator framework is
always available.
This resolves the Smatch warning and enforces the correct dependency.
