As the comment in qapi/error, dereferencing @errp requires
ERRP_GUARD():
* = Why, when and how to use ERRP_GUARD() =
*
* Without ERRP_GUARD(), use of the @errp parameter is restricted:
* - It must not be dereferenced, because it may be null.
...
* ERRP_GUARD() lifts these restrictions.
*
* To use ERRP_GUARD(), add it right at the beginning of the function.
* @errp can then be used without worrying about the argument being
* NULL or &error_fatal.
*
* Using it when it's not needed is safe, but please avoid cluttering
* the source with useless code.
But in trng_prop_fault_event_set, @errp is dereferenced without
ERRP_GUARD():
visit_type_uint32(v, name, events, errp);
if (*errp) {
return;
}
Currently, since trng_prop_fault_event_set() doesn't get the NULL @errp
parameter as a "set" method of object property, it hasn't triggered the
bug that dereferencing the NULL @errp.
And since visit_type_uint32() returns bool, check the returned bool
directly instead of dereferencing @errp, then we needn't the add missing
ERRP_GUARD().
