No; we should not have either an inline function or a macro. This
computation isn't necessary at all.
If you're worried about the possibility that pdata might be NULL,
just return -ENODEV from ehci_platform_probe() if it is:
int irq;
int err = -ENOMEM;
- BUG_ON(!dev->dev.platform_data);
+ if (!dev->dev.platform_data) {
+ WARN_ON(1);
+ return -ENODEV;
+ }
if (usb_disabled())
return -ENODEV;
But even that may be unnecessary. Simply removing the BUG_ON will
accomplish pretty much the same thing; people will realize something is
wrong pretty quickly when the computer gets an access violation from
trying to dereference a null pointer.
