BUG_ON(!function);
is an appropriate thing. But a null-pointer deref gives us the same info, so no change is needed.
btw, pinmux_generic_get_function() is funny:
if (!function) return NULL;
return function;
Thank you for your response to the vulnerability I submitted. Yes, we believe there is a similar issue. As described in [1], pinmux_generic_get_function() could return as NULL and lead to a d ereferencing problem, and a similar issue exists in this code. It is better to add checking of pointer 'function' in pcs_get_function(). The discovery of this problem was confirmed through manual review of the code and compilation testing.
