Hi Tony,

While running static analysis on linux-next, CoverityScan picked up a
NULL pointer deference on ddata->pins when calling pinctrl_lookup_state:

466        ddata->pins = devm_pinctrl_get(ddata->dev);

   1. Condition IS_ERR(ddata->pins), taking true branch.

467        if (IS_ERR(ddata->pins)) {
468                dev_info(ddata->dev, "default pins not configured:
%ld\n",
469                         PTR_ERR(ddata->pins));

   2. assign_zero: Assigning: ddata->pins = NULL.

470                ddata->pins = NULL;
471        }
472

   CID 1440453 (#1 of 1): Explicit null dereferenced (FORWARD_NULL)3.
var_deref_model: Passing null pointer ddata->pins to
pinctrl_lookup_state, which dereferences it. [show details]

473        ddata->pins_ulpi = pinctrl_lookup_state(ddata->pins, "ulpi");

I suspect the IS_ERROR() check should return with some error return
rather than continuing.

Colin.
