Smatch static checker warns that "mdev" can be null:
sound/usb/media.c:287 snd_media_device_create()
warn: 'mdev' can also be NULL
If CONFIG_MEDIA_CONTROLLER is disabled, this file should not be included
in the build.
The below conditions in the sound/usb/Makefile are in place to ensure that
media.c isn't included in the build.
sound/usb/Makefile:
snd-usb-audio-$(CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO_USE_MEDIA_CONTROLLER) += media.o
select SND_USB_AUDIO_USE_MEDIA_CONTROLLER if MEDIA_CONTROLLER &&
(MEDIA_SUPPORT=y || MEDIA_SUPPORT=SND_USB_AUDIO)
The following config check in include/media/media-dev-allocator.h is
in place to enable the API only when CONFIG_MEDIA_CONTROLLER and
CONFIG_USB are enabled.
#if defined(CONFIG_MEDIA_CONTROLLER) && defined(CONFIG_USB)
This check doesn't work as intended when CONFIG_USB=m. When CONFIG_USB=m,
CONFIG_USB_MODULE is defined and CONFIG_USB is not. The above config check
doesn't catch that CONFIG_USB is defined as a module and disables the API.
This results in sound/usb enabling Media Controller specific ALSA driver
code, while Media disables the Media Controller API.
Fix the problem requires two changes:
1. Change the check to use IS_ENABLED to detect when CONFIG_USB is enabled
as a module or static. Since CONFIG_MEDIA_CONTROLLER is a bool, leave
the check unchanged to be consistent with drivers/media/Makefile.
2. Change the drivers/media/mc/Makefile to include mc-dev-allocator.o
in mc-objs when CONFIG_USB is enabled.

Media Device Allocator API to allows multiple drivers share a media device.
This API solves a very common use-case for media devices where one physical
device (an USB stick) provides both audio and video. When such media device
exposes a standard USB Audio class, a proprietary Video class, two or more
independent drivers will share a single physical USB bridge. In such cases,
it is necessary to coordinate access to the shared resource.
Using this API, drivers can allocate a media device with the shared struct
device as the key. Once the media device is allocated by a driver, other
drivers can get a reference to it. The media device is released when all
the references are released.
