From: Peng Fan <peng.fan@nxp.com>

The reset GPIO obtained via devm_gpiod_get() may return an ERR_PTR()
when the GPIO is missing or an error occurs. The current code
unconditionally assigns PTR_ERR() to ret and later dereferences
rst_gpio via desc_to_gpio(), which is incorrect when rst_gpio is an
error pointer.

Rework the logic to first check IS_ERR(rst_gpio) before converting the
descriptor. Handle -ENOENT by disabling reset GPIO support, and return
other errors to the caller as expected.

Applied to

   https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound.git for-7.1

Thanks!

[1/1] ASoC: pxa2xx-ac97: fix error handling for reset GPIO descriptor
      https://git.kernel.org/broonie/sound/c/54a032d3e62f

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark
