drivers/video/fbdev : dereference without an error test
After a variable is assigned the result of backlight_device_register, an error test should be performed before a dereference. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: // <smpl> @def0@ expression x; position p0; @@ x@p0 = backlight_device_register(...) @protected@ expression def0.x,E; position def0.p0; position p; statement S; @@ x@p0 ... when != x = E if (!IS_ERR(x) && ...) {<... x@p ...>} else S @unprotected@ expression def0.x,E; identifier fld; position def0.p0; position p != protected.p; @@ x@p0 ... when != x = E * x@p->fld // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Himangi Saraogi <himangi774@gmail.com> Acked-by: Julia Lawall <julia.lawall@lip6.fr> Signed-off-by: Tomi Valkeinen <tomi.valkeinen@ti.com>
