From: Pierre-Louis Bossart <pierre-louis.bossart@linux.intel.com> commit d58970da324732686529655c21791cef0ee547c4 upstream. cppcheck warning: sound/soc/samsung/tm2_wm5110.c:605:6: style: Variable 'ret' is reassigned a value before the old one has been used. [redundantAssignment] ret = devm_snd_soc_register_component(dev, &tm2_component, ^ sound/soc/samsung/tm2_wm5110.c:554:7: note: ret is assigned ret = of_parse_phandle_with_args(dev->of_node, "i2s-controller", ^ sound/soc/samsung/tm2_wm5110.c:605:6: note: ret is overwritten ret = devm_snd_soc_register_component(dev, &tm2_component, ^ The args is a stack variable, so it could have junk (uninitialized) therefore args.np could have a non-NULL and random value even though property was missing. Later could trigger invalid pointer dereference. There's no need to check for args.np because args.np won't be initialized on errors.
