Hello Emmanuel Grumbach,

This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.

The patch 9145d15128bd: "iwlwifi: mvm: BT Coex - don't limit agg size 
in loose scheme" from Jul 18, 2013, leads to the following Smatch 
complaint:

drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/mvm/rs.c:2491 rs_fill_link_cmd()
	 error: we previously assumed 'mvm' could be null (see line 2412)

drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/mvm/rs.c
  2411		repeat_rate--;
  2412		if (mvm)
                    ^^^
Existing check.

  2413			valid_tx_ant = iwl_fw_valid_tx_ant(mvm->fw);
  2414	
  2415		/* Fill rest of rate table */
  2416		while (index < LINK_QUAL_MAX_RETRY_NUM) {
  2417			/* Repeat initial/next rate.
  2418			 * For legacy IWL_NUMBER_TRY == 1, this loop will not execute.
  2419			 * For HT IWL_HT_NUMBER_TRY == 3, this executes twice. */

  2481		}
  2482	
  2483		lq_cmd->agg_frame_cnt_limit = LINK_QUAL_AGG_FRAME_LIMIT_DEF;
  2484		lq_cmd->agg_disable_start_th = LINK_QUAL_AGG_DISABLE_START_DEF;
  2485	
  2486		lq_cmd->agg_time_limit =
  2487			cpu_to_le16(LINK_QUAL_AGG_TIME_LIMIT_DEF);
  2488	
  2489		if (sta)
  2490			lq_cmd->agg_time_limit =
  2491				cpu_to_le16(iwl_mvm_bt_coex_agg_time_limit(mvm, sta));
                                                                           ^^^
Patch introduces new unchecked dereference.
