iio: chemical: scd30: reject (response=NULL, size>0) in scd30_i2c_command()
scd30_i2c_command() takes an opaque "response" buffer plus its size.
At the start of the function the code already checks if response is
NULL (via the rsp local), but the response-decoding loop after the
i2c transfer always dereferences rsp without re-checking. With the
current callers in scd30_core.c this is harmless, since write
commands pass response=NULL together with size=0 (so the loop body
is never entered).
The (response=NULL, size>0) combination has no useful meaning: there
is nowhere to put the bytes that come back from the chip. Treat it
as an invalid argument and bail out at the top of the function with
-EINVAL, instead of silently doing the i2c transfer and dereferencing
a NULL pointer in the decode loop.
smatch flagged the inconsistency:
drivers/iio/chemical/scd30_i2c.c:104 scd30_i2c_command() error: we
previously assumed rsp could be null (see line 77)
No functional change for the existing callers, which only ever use
(response=NULL, size=0) for writes and (response!=NULL, size>0) for
reads.
