dlfb_usb_probe, detected by the semantic patch deref_null.cocci,
with the following warning:
drivers/video/fbdev/udlfb.c:1704:11-15: ERROR: dlfb is NULL but dereferenced.
The following code has potential null pointer references:
1597 /* usb initialization */
1598 dlfb = kzalloc(sizeof(*dlfb), GFP_KERNEL);
1599 if (!dlfb) {
...
1601 goto error;
1602 }
...
1703 error:

1705 dlfb_ops_destroy(dlfb->info);
1706 } else if (dlfb) {
