Subject: [PATCH] spi: stm32: fix NULL check on pointer-to-pointer variable
Date: Sat, 28 Jun 2025 02:02:27 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250628000227.22895-1-antonio@mandelbit.com> (raw)

In stm32_spi_prepare_rx_dma_mdma_chaining() both rx_dma_desc
and rx_mdma_desc are passed as pointer-to-pointer arguments.

The goal is to pass back to the caller the value returned
by dmaengine_prep_slave_sg(), when it is not NULL.

However, the NULL check on the result is erroneously
performed without dereferencing the pointer.

Add the proper dereference operator to both checks.

Fixes: d17dd2f1d8a1 ("spi: stm32: use STM32 DMA with STM32 MDMA to enhance DDR use")
Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1644715 ("Null pointer dereferences (REVERSE_INULL)")
