Hi Aaron,

FYI, there are new smatch warnings show up in

commit: f064a20dded807448669426c9bfb7d03aba5659c [7/11] libata: move acpi notification code to zpodd

New smatch warnings:
drivers/ata/libata-zpodd.c:83 zpodd_wake_dev() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'ata_dev' (see line 80)

The ata_dev variable shouldn't ever be NULL here.

If I remove the check for ata_dev here, will the smatch warning go away?
Or should I add a check above? I suppose we need to do something to the
warning, so that it won't pop up in the future, so please feel free to
suggest, thanks!

Removing the check would silence the warning.

OK, thanks.

Hi Jeff,
Should I prepare a new patch to fix this or update the original patch?

If it's in libata-dev.git#upstream, then a patch on top of all the others, which addresses the issue.

	Jeff
