Hello Kuninori Morimoto, The patch 2692c1c63c29: "ASoC: add audio-graph-card support" from Apr 20, 2017, leads to the following static checker warning: sound/soc/generic/audio-graph-card.c:275 asoc_graph_card_probe() info: return a literal instead of 'ret' sound/soc/generic/audio-graph-card.c 268 goto err; 269 } 270 271 snd_soc_card_set_drvdata(card, priv); 272 273 ret = devm_snd_soc_register_card(dev, card); 274 if (ret >= 0) 275 return ret; This code is confusing. I'm pretty sure that devm_snd_soc_register_card() returns zero on success or negative error codes but why are we checking >= 0 here? It's better to do error handling than success handling. People often get a bit creative with the last condition in a function... :/ In other words, it's cleaner like this: ret = devm_snd_soc_register_card(dev, card); if (ret) goto err; return 0; err: asoc_simple_card_clean_reference(card); return ret; 276 err: 277 asoc_simple_card_clean_reference(card); 278 279 return ret; 280 } regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
