>> After Change 2, static analysis tools began reporting a potential NPE when using getData(cmmProfile(), icSigHead), since it may return null. To address this, the internal implementation of getData was updated to always return a non-null value or throw an exception. The public method now catches this exception and returns null, as required by the specification. **Note**: this potential NPE is not a regression introduced by any changes, it simply became easier for tools to detect due to the simplified code.
