From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> If it is reasonable to apply PTR_ERR to the result of calling clk_get, then that result should first be tested with IS_ERR, not with !. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @@ expression E,E1; @@ if ( - E == NULL + IS_ERR(E) ) { <+... when != E = E1 PTR_ERR(E) ...+> } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- arch/arm/common/sa1111.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff -u -p a/arch/arm/common/sa1111.c b/arch/arm/common/sa1111.c --- a/arch/arm/common/sa1111.c +++ b/arch/arm/common/sa1111.c @@ -630,7 +630,7 @@ __sa1111_probe(struct device *me, struct return -ENOMEM; sachip->clk = clk_get(me, "SA1111_CLK"); - if (!sachip->clk) { + if (IS_ERR(sachip->clk)) { ret = PTR_ERR(sachip->clk); goto err_free; } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
