Subject: [PATCH] dmaengine: idxd: Fix a possible NULL pointer dereference
Date:   Thu, 29 Jul 2021 14:04:01 +0200
Message-Id: <77f0dc4f3966591d1f0cffb614a94085f8895a85.1627560174.git.christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Precedence: bulk

'device_driver_attach()' dereferences its first argument (i.e. 'alt_drv')
so it must not be NULL.
Simplify the error handling logic about NULL 'alt_drv' in order to be
more robust and future-proof.

Fixes: 568b2126466f ("dmaengine: idxd: fix uninit var for alt_drv")
Fixes: 6e7f3ee97bbe ("dmaengine: idxd: move dsa_drv support to compatible mode")
