Subject: [PATCH] mmc: pxamci: Fix passing NULL to PTR_ERR() in pxamci_probe()
Date: Tue,  7 Oct 2025 21:47:44 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251007161948.12442-1-rakuram.e96@gmail.com> (raw)

Smatch reported:
drivers/mmc/host/pxamci.c:709 pxamci_probe() warn: passing zero to 'PTR_ERR'

Case 1:
When dma_request_chan() fails, host->dma_chan_rx is an ERR_PTR(),
but it is reset to NULL before using PTR_ERR(), resulting in PTR_ERR(0).
This mistakenly returns 0 instead of the real error code.

Case 2:
When devm_clk_get() fails, host->clk is an ERR_PTR() resulting in the similar
issue like case 1. 

Store the error code before nullifying the pointers in both the cases.

Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/r/202510041841.pRlunIfl-lkp@intel.com/
Fixes: 58c40f3faf742c ("mmc: pxamci: Use devm_mmc_alloc_host() helper")

Build and Analysis:
This patch was compiled against the configuration file reported by
0day CI in the above link (config: s390-randconfig-r071-20251004) using
`s390x-linux-gnu-gcc (Ubuntu 14.2.0-19ubuntu2) 14.2.0`. 

Static analysis was performed with Smatch to ensure the reported warning 
no longer reproduces after applying this fix.

Command used for verification:
  ARCH=s390 CROSS_COMPILE=s390x-linux-gnu- \
  ~/project/smatch/smatch_scripts/kchecker ./drivers/mmc/host/pxamci.c
