PM / devfreq: Remove redundant governor_name from struct devfreq
[ It's so weird that I never reported this and also that no one else
seems to have fixed it... ]
Hello Chanwoo Choi,
This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.
The patch 96ffcdf239de: "PM / devfreq: Remove redundant governor_name from struct devfreq" from Oct 20, 2020, leads to the following Smatch complaint:
drivers/devfreq/devfreq.c:1272 devfreq_add_governor()
warn: variable dereferenced before check 'devfreq->governor' (see line 1269)drivers/devfreq/devfreq.c
1268
1269 if (!strncmp(devfreq->governor->name, governor->name,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Dereference
1270 DEVFREQ_NAME_LEN)) {
1271 /* The following should never occur */
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What?!?
1272 if (devfreq->governor) {
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Checked too late.
1273 dev_warn(dev,
1274 "%s: Governor %s already present\n",
