clang static analysis flags this problem
stream.c:844:9: warning: Use of memory after
it is freed
kfree(bus->defer_msg.msg->buf);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This happens in an error handler cleaning up memory
allocated for elements in a list.
list_for_each_entry(m_rt, &stream->master_list, stream_node) {
bus = m_rt->bus;
kfree(bus->defer_msg.msg->buf);
kfree(bus->defer_msg.msg);
}
And is triggered when the call to sdw_bank_switch() fails.
There are a two problems.
First, when sdw_bank_switch() fails, though it frees memory it
does not clear bus's reference 'defer_msg.msg' to that memory.
The second problem is the freeing msg->buf. In some cases
msg will be NULL so this will dereference a null pointer.
Need to check before freeing.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
