Gcc-12 correctly warned about this code using a non-NULL pointer as a truth value: drivers/gpu/drm/imx/ipuv3-crtc.c: In function ‘ipu_crtc_disable_planes’: drivers/gpu/drm/imx/ipuv3-crtc.c:72:21: error: the comparison will always evaluate as ‘true’ for the address of ‘plane’ will never be NULL [-Werror=address] 72 | if (&ipu_crtc->plane[1] && plane == &ipu_crtc->plane[1]->base) | ^ due to the extraneous '&' address-of operator. Philipp Zabel points out that The mistake had no adverse effect since the following condition doesn't actually dereference the NULL pointer, but the intent of the code was obviously to check for it, not to take the address of the member.

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.
