KASAN report null-ptr-deref as follows:
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000008-0x000000000000000f]
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.13.0-1ubuntu1.1 04/01/2014
RIP: 0010:ipmi_unregister_smi+0x7d/0xd50 drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c:3680
Call Trace:
ipmi_ipmb_remove+0x138/0x1a0 drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_ipmb.c:443
ipmi_ipmb_probe+0x409/0xda1 drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_ipmb.c:548

In ipmi_ipmb_probe(), 'iidev->intf' is not set before
ipmi_register_smi() success. And in the error handling case,
ipmi_ipmb_remove() is called to release resources, ipmi_unregister_smi()
is called without check 'iidev->intf', this will cause KASAN
null-ptr-deref issue.
General kernel style is to allow NULL to be passed into unregister
calls, so fix it that way. This allows a NULL check to be removed in
other code.
Fixes:

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
