As the comment in qapi/error, dereferencing @errp requires
ERRP_GUARD():
* = Why, when and how to use ERRP_GUARD() =
*
* Without ERRP_GUARD(), use of the @errp parameter is restricted:
* - It must not be dereferenced, because it may be null.
...
* ERRP_GUARD() lifts these restrictions.
*
* To use ERRP_GUARD(), add it right at the beginning of the function.
* @errp can then be used without worrying about the argument being
* NULL or &error_fatal.
*
* Using it when it's not needed is safe, but please avoid cluttering
* the source with useless code.
But in macfb_nubus_realize(), @errp is dereferenced without
ERRP_GUARD():
ndc->parent_realize(dev, errp);
if (*errp) {
return;
}
Here we check *errp, because the ndc->parent_realize(), as a
DeviceClass.realize() callback, returns void. And since
macfb_nubus_realize(), also as a DeviceClass.realize(), doesn't get the
NULL @errp parameter, it hasn't triggered the bug that dereferencing the
NULL @errp.
To follow the requirement of @errp, add missing ERRP_GUARD() in
macfb_nubus_realize().
