When fib_entry is NULL, no error return code of
mlxsw_sp_router_nve_promote_decap() is assigned.
To fix this bug, err is assigned with -EINVAL in this case.

Again, are you sure this is a bug? To me it looks like it is
intentional to not return an error code if fib_entry is NULL.
Please don't blindly trust the robot results, there may
always be false positives.

Yes, it is OK not to return an error. There is even a comment above the
call to mlxsw_sp_router_ip2me_fib_entry_find():

/* It is valid to create a tunnel with a local IP and only later
 * assign this IP address to a local interface
 */
