This function programs CM3 flow control\nregisters via mvpp2_cm3_read()/mvpp2_cm3_write(), which dereference\npriv->cm3_base without any NULL check.\n\nWhen the CM3 SRAM resource is not present in the device tree (the\nthird reg entry added by commit 60523583b07c (\"dts: marvell: add CM3\nSRAM memory to cp11x ethernet device tree\")), priv->cm3_base remains\nNULL and priv->global_tx_fc is false. Any operation that triggers\nmvpp2_bm_switch_buffers(), for example an MTU change that crosses\nthe jumbo frame threshold, will crash:\n\n Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at\n virtual
