[ Upstream commit 0407c49ebe330333478440157c640fffd986f41b ]
In mxb_attach(dev, info), saa7146_vv_init() is called to allocate a new memory for dev->vv_data. saa7146_vv_release() will be called on failure of mxb_probe(dev). There is a dereference of dev->vv_data in saa7146_vv_release(), which could lead to a NULL pointer dereference on failure of saa7146_vv_init().
Fix this bug by adding a check of saa7146_vv_init().
This bug was found by a static analyzer. The analysis employs differential checking to identify inconsistent security operations (e.g., checks or kfrees) between two code paths and confirms that the inconsistent operations are not recovered in the current function or the callers, so they constitute bugs.
Note that, as a bug found by static analysis, it can be a false positive or hard to trigger. Multiple researchers have cross-reviewed the bug.
Builds with CONFIG_VIDEO_MXB=m show no new warnings, and our static analyzer no longer warns about this code.
