there is a warning saying variable dereferenced before
check 'data->notifier' in line 828.
add "for(data->notifier)" before variable deferenced.

^^^
Should have been "if (data->notifier)".

I didn't really explicitly give a Reviewed-by tag for this patch.
https://groups.google.com/g/hust-os-kernel-patches/c/c5hUaYIDcII/m/h4aFS7PkCQAJ
I also said that I thought it looked correct but that it needed a Fixes:
tag however the Fixes tag I suggested was wrong.
Looking at it now, the correct Fixes tag would be:
Fixes: 1c8ee06b637f ("platform/mellanox: Remove unnecessary code")
That commit says that the NULL check is not required. So now I'm
confused. On the one hand, the impulse is to trust the maintainer, but
on the other hand my review suggested that the NULL check might be
required.

Yes, it indeed required.
My mistake.

Ok, so we are going to need a v2 of this addressing Dan's remarks
about the commit message.
Yu Sun, can you please submit a new version addressing
Dan's comments on the commit message ?
