control_message() might be called with pao = NULL.
Here indicates control_message() as sample.
(B) static void control_message(struct hpi_adapter_obj *pao, ...)
{ ^^^
struct hpi_hw_obj *phw = pao->priv;
... ^^^
}
(A) void _HPI_6205(struct hpi_adapter_obj *pao, ...)
{ ^^^
...
case HPI_OBJ_CONTROL:
(B) control_message(pao, phm, phr);
break; ^^^
...
}
void HPI_6205(...)
{
...
(A) _HPI_6205(NULL, phm, phr);
... ^^^^
}
Therefore, We will get too many warning via cppcheck, like below
sound/pci/asihpi/hpi6205.c:238:27: warning: Possible null pointer dereference: pao [nullPointer]
struct hpi_hw_obj *phw = pao->priv;
^
sound/pci/asihpi/hpi6205.c:433:13: note: Calling function '_HPI_6205', 1st argument 'NULL' value is 0
_HPI_6205(NULL, phm, phr);
^
sound/pci/asihpi/hpi6205.c:401:20: note: Calling function 'control_message', 1st argument 'pao' value is 0
control_message(pao, phm, phr);
^
Set phr->error like many functions doing, and don't call _HPI_6205()
with NULL.

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.
