[PATCH] gpu: host1x: Fix passing zero to ERR_PTR in host1x_iommu_attach()

From: Alper Ak

Date: Mon Feb 09 2026 - 08:14:39 EST


When iommu_attach_group() returns -ENODEV, the code sets err to 0 but
still falls through to the error path, returning ERR_PTR(0).

Returning ERR_PTR(0) evaluates to NULL and breaks the ERR_PTR/IS_ERR
contract, causing the error to be silently ignored and potentially
leading to NULL pointer dereferences by callers.

Fix this by returning NULL when err is zero, and ERR_PTR(err) only
for actual error codes.

This issue was reported by the Smatch static analyzer.
