Coverity complains about uart_state checks in polling functions. And it is indeed correct. We do something like this: struct uart_state *state = drv->state + line; if (!state) return; Adding 'line' to drv->state would move the potential NULL pointer to something near NULL and the check is useless. Even if we checked pure drv->state, nothing guarantees it is not freed and NULLed after the check. So if the only user of this interface (kgdboc) needs to assure something, this is neither the correct thing, nor place to do so.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
