Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(= s) to consider: Pre-existing issues: - [High] The patch successfully fixes a NULL pointer dereference in `imx_pc= ie_probe()` by checking `imx_pcie->clks[i].id` before passing it to `strncm= p()`, but it misses an identical preexisting vulnerability in `imx_setup_ph= y_mpll()`. -- --- Patch [1]: [PATCH] PCI: imx6: Avoid dereferencing a NULL clock name --- commit 59f2384c27b018977b395ad505a6ac37e2ecf39a Author: Rudi Heitbaum <[email protected]> PCI: imx6: Avoid dereferencing a NULL clock name =20 This patch fixes a kernel oops in imx_pcie_probe() by checking if clk_bulk_data::id is NULL before passing it to strncmp(). This happens because of_clk_bulk_get() legally leaves the id as NULL for unnamed clocks. > diff --git a/drivers/pci/controller/dwc/pci-imx6.c b/drivers/pci/controll= er/dwc/pci-imx6.c > index 98e1db751132a..9a9efc2ab894a 100644 > --- a/drivers/pci/controller/dwc/pci-imx6.c > +++ b/drivers/pci/controller/dwc/pci-imx6.c > @@ -1826,7 +1826,8 @@ static int imx_pcie_probe(struct platform_device *p= dev) > return dev_err_probe(dev, imx_pcie->num_clks, > "failed to get clocks\n"); > for (i =3D 0; i < imx_pcie->num_clks; i++) > - if (strncmp(imx_pcie->clks[i].id, "extref", 6) =3D=3D 0) > + if (imx_pcie->clks[i].id && > + strncmp(imx_pcie->clks[i].id, "extref", 6) =3D=3D 0) > imx_pcie->enable_ext_refclk =3D true; > =20 > if (imx_check_flag(imx_pcie, IMX_PCIE_FLAG_HAS_PHYDRV)) { [Severity: High] This is a pre-existing issue, but this same vulnerability appears to exist elsewhere in this driver. In imx_setup_phy_mpll(), the driver iterates over the clocks and calls strncmp() on the id without checking if it is NULL: drivers/pci/controller/dwc/pci-imx6.c:imx_setup_phy_mpll() { ... for (i =3D 0; i < imx_pcie->num_clks; i++) if (strncmp(clks[i].id, "pcie_phy", 8) =3D=3D 0) phy_rate =3D clk_get_rate(clks[i].clk); ... } Could this cause a similar oops during probe when IMX_PCIE_FLAG_IMX_PHY is used and an unnamed clock is present? Would it make sense to apply the same NULL check to this loop? --=20 Sashiko AI review =C2=B7 https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/am8iBwJSEhYhWTqk@6c= fee64030a6?part=3D1
