In drivers/pinctrl/devicetree.c
195 propname = kasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, "pinctrl-%d", state);
196 prop = of_find_property(np, propname, &size);
197 kfree(propname);
198 if (!prop)
199 break;
If propname is NULL, of_find_property may trigger panic. Anyway propname should
be checked
before passing to of_find_property.
I did not met panic message. I wrote this patch when I was reading the piece
code.
I think the name parameter should be checked before doing string compare.
Regards,
Peng.
