Hi Christophe, thank you for your review.
There are two problems in the ucc_of_parse_tdm function.
1, NULL pointer reference
2, pdev gets modified, iomap was done with a different pdev.

We will submit a patch to repair it later.
Thanks.

132         pdev = of_find_device_by_node(np2);
......
141         utdm->si_regs = devm_ioremap_resource(&pdev->dev, res);   ---> use pdev to call  devm_ioremap 
......
153         pdev = of_find_device_by_node(np2);   --->This line, pdev gets modified  
154         if (!pdev) {
155                 ret = -EINVAL;
156                 pr_err("%pOFn: failed to lookup pdev\n", np2);
157                 of_node_put(np2);
158                 goto err_miss_siram_property;                         ------> This line, if pdev is NULL, will jump to label err_miss_siram_property
159         }
......
163         utdm->siram = devm_ioremap_resource(&pdev->dev, res);  --> use  changed pdev to call devm_ioremap 
......
175 
176 err_miss_siram_property:
177         devm_iounmap(&pdev->dev, utdm->si_regs);    ------> Within the code block,  if pdev is NULL,  kernel panic will be triggered; devm_iounmap() will alse fail even when the new pdev is valid.
178         return ret;
179 }

You are just hiding the issue, not fixing it.

The problem is that pdev gets modified, so in any case that
devm_iounmap() will fail even when the new pdev is valid, because the
iomap was done with a different pdev.
