Hello Guenter Roeck,
This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.
The patch d560168b5d0f: "hwmon: (core) New hwmon registration API"
from Aug 26, 2015, leads to the following Smatch complaint:
drivers/hwmon/hwmon.c:624 __hwmon_device_register()
error: we previously assumed 'dev' could be null (see line 602)
drivers/hwmon/hwmon.c
601 hdev->parent = dev;
602 hdev->of_node = dev ? dev->of_node : NULL;

I gotta be honest, I have no idea why my scripts say this is a new
warning when it's 2 years old. This check feels like it could be
deleted and perhaps that's why it didn't complain up to now. It tries
to ignore extra harmless checks.
Nevertheless it is a good warning. hwmon_thermal_add_sensor() calls
devm_kzalloc()
with dev as argument.

Dereference.
