Re: [PATCH v1] LoongArch: pci: add NULL check for map_bus return value in loongson_gpu_fixup_dma_hang

Hi,Huacai,

You are right, I haven't hit this crash in practice -- it was from reading the code, not an observed failure. I'll drop this patch.

I didn't verify carefully enough whether the NULL path is actually
reachable here. After re-reading the code and the manual, map_bus()
won't return NULL in this fixup context, so the check is unnecessary.

Sorry for the noise.

Best regards,
Xuewen Wang
