[PATCH v2] Staging: iio: accel: Fixed NULL comparison style

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The variable u8 **rx_p, is a pointer-to-pointer and hence the check should
be "if (!*rx_p)" and not "if (!rx_p)".
In the earlier version, checkpatch.pl gave the following check, which was
buggy:
CHECK: Comparison to NULL could be written "!rx_p"
+       if (*rx_p == NULL) {
