From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 21 Jan 2017 21:40:38 +0100 A local variable was set to an error code before a concrete error situation was detected. Thus move the corresponding assignment into an if branch to indicate a software failure there. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
