Subject: [PATCH net] ice: Don't dereference NULL in ice_gns_read error path
Date: Thu, 25 May 2023 12:52:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230525-null-ice-v1-1-30d10557b91e@kernel.org> (raw)

If pf is NULL in ice_gns_read() then it will be dereferenced
in the error path by a call to dev_dbg(ice_pf_to_dev(pf), ...).

Avoid this by simply returning in this case.
If logging is desired an alternate approach might be to
use pr_err() before returning.

Flagged by Smatch as:

  .../ice_gnss.c:196 ice_gnss_read() error: we previously assumed 'pf' could be null (see line 131)

Fixes: 43113ff73453 ("ice: add TTY for GNSS module for E810T device")
