Subject: Spi/MvSpiDxe likely NullPtrException
Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2017 00:20:33 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <403a5343bcb349abacc4f0a3693dd3e7@SOC-EX03V.e01.socionext.com> (raw)

Hi,

MvSpiDxe.c:MvSpiTransfer() attempts load data into DataInPtr, which is
a possibly NULL pointer. 

    https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-platforms/blob/master/Platform/Marvell/Drivers/Spi/MvSpiDxe.c#L228
    ///////////// SNIP /////////////
    for (Iterator = 0; Iterator < SPI_TIMEOUT; Iterator++) {
      if (MmioRead32 (SpiRegBase + SPI_INT_CAUSE_REG)) {
        *DataInPtr = MmioRead32 (SpiRegBase + SPI_DATA_IN_REG);
    ////////////////////////////////

One example that DataInPtr == NULL is in MvSpiDxe.c:MvReadWrite() in 
the first MvSpiTransfer() call. 

    https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-platforms/blob/master/Platform/Marvell/Drivers/Spi/MvSpiDxe.c#L276
    ///////////// SNIP /////////////
    Status = MvSpiTransfer (This, Slave, CmdSize, Cmd, NULL, SPI_TRANSFER_BEGIN);
    if (EFI_ERROR (Status)) {
      Print (L"Spi Transfer Error\n");
      return EFI_DEVICE_ERROR;
    }

    Status = MvSpiTransfer (This, Slave, DataSize, DataOut, DataIn, SPI_TRANSFER_END);
    if (EFI_ERROR (Status)) {
      Print (L"Spi Transfer Error\n");
      return EFI_DEVICE_ERROR;
    }
    ////////////////////////////////

It should store data from SPI_DATA_IN_REG in a temporary variable first, 
then passes the data into DataInPtr if DataInPtr != NULL.
