of: properly check for error returned by fdt_get_name()
fdt_get_name() returns error values via a parameter pointer instead of in function return. Fix check for this error value in populate_node() and callers of populate_node(). Chasing up the caller tree showed callers of various functions failing to initialize the value of pointer parameters that can return error values. Initialize those values to NULL. The bug was introduced by commit e6a6928c ("of/fdt: Convert FDT functions to use libfdt") but this patch can not be backported directly to that commit because the relevant code has further been restructured by commit dfbd4c6e ("drivers/of: Split unflatten_dt_node()") The bug became visible by triggering a crash on openrisc with: commit 79edff12 ("scripts/dtc: Update to upstream version v1.6.0-51-g183df9e9c2b9") as reported in: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210327224116.69309-1-linux@roeck-us.net/ Fixes: 79edff12 ("scripts/dtc: Update to upstream version v1.6.0-51-g183df9e9c2b9") Reported-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@sony.com> Tested-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210405032845.1942533-1-frowand.list@gmail.comSigned-off-by: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org>
