Subject: [PATCH v2] serial: 8250_mid: Fix NULL function pointer dereference on DNV/ICX-D/SNR platforms
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 15:35:46 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260715073546.1875083-1-yijiangshan@kylinos.cn> (raw)

Commit b1b4efea05a5 ("serial: 8250_mid: Disable DMA for selected
platforms") replaced the dnv_board setup and exit callbacks with
PTR_IF(false, ...), which evaluates to NULL. However, the three call
sites in mid8250_probe() and mid8250_remove() unconditionally dereference
these function pointers without NULL checks, causing a NULL pointer
dereference (kernel oops) on any Denverton (DNV), Ice Lake Xeon D
(ICX-D/CDF), or Snowridge (SNR) platform.

Fix this by adding the missing NULL checks before calling the setup
and exit callbacks.
