[PATCH] platform/x86/intel-uncore-freq: Fail module load when plat_info is NULL

From: Srinivas Pandruvada
Date: Fri Jun 06 2025 - 16:53:30 EST


Address a Smatch static checker warning regarding an unchecked
dereference in the function call:
set_cdie_id(i, cluster_info, plat_info)
when plat_info is NULL.

Instead of addressing this one case, in general if plat_info is NULL
then it can cause other issues. For example in a two package system it
will give warning for duplicate sysfs entry as package ID will be always
zero for both packages when creating string for attribute group name.

plat_info is derived from TPMI ID TPMI_BUS_INFO, which is integral to
the core TPMI design. Therefore, it should not be NULL on a production
platform. Consequently, the module should fail to load if plat_info is
NULL.
