Christian reported a NULL pointer dereference in j721e_pcie_probe() caused by19e863828a("PCI: j721e: Drop redundant struct device *"), which removed struct j721e_pcie.dev since there's another copy in struct cdns_pcie.dev reachable via j721e_pcie->cdns_pcie->dev. The problem is that j721e_pcie->cdns_pcie was dereferenced before being initialized: j721e_pcie_probe pcie = devm_kzalloc() # struct j721e_pcie j721e_pcie_ctrl_init(pcie) dev = pcie->cdns_pcie->dev <-- dereference cdns_pcie switch (mode) { case PCI_MODE_RC: cdns_pcie = ... # alloc as part of pci_host_bridge pcie->cdns_pcie = cdns_pcie <-- initialize pcie->cdns_pcie Move the cdns_pcie initialization earlier so it is done before it is used. This also simplifies the error exits.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
