Hello Aurabindo Pillai,
Commit 992694ad2858 ("drm/amd/display: Enable DCN6 sources
compilation") from Jul 21, 2026, leads to the following Smatch
complaint:
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/hwss/dce110/dce110_hwseq.c:3500
dce110_enable_tmds_link_output()
warn: variable dereferenced before check 'link->link_enc' (see line 3490)
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/hwss/dce110/dce110_hwseq.c
3489 (void)link_res;
3490 link->link_enc->funcs->enable_tmds_output(
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The exiting code dereferences link->link_enc
3491 link->link_enc,
3492 clock_source,
3493 color_depth,
3494 signal,
3495 pixel_clock);
3496 link->phy_state.symclk_state = SYMCLK_ON_TX_ON;
3497
3498 // For dongle Type 2 with no I2C support on board, setup sw
mode of Ri/Pj check with proper aux instance
3499 if (link->force_to_use_aux) {
3500 if (link->link_enc &&
link->link_enc->funcs->setup_ri_pj_check_in_sw_or_hw_mode)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3501
link->link_enc->funcs->setup_ri_pj_check_in_sw_or_hw_mode(link->link_enc,
3502 link->aux_hw_inst, true);
3503 } else
3504 // For HDMI setup hw mode of Ri/Pj check with proper
ddc pin instance
3505 if (link->link_enc &&
link->link_enc->funcs->setup_ri_pj_check_in_sw_or_hw_mode)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So these checks don't make sense.
3506
link->link_enc->funcs->setup_ri_pj_check_in_sw_or_hw_mode(link->link_enc,
3507 link->ddc_hw_inst, false);
3508 }
