This code does not call deinit_card(card); in an error case, as done in other error-handling code in the same function. But actually, the called function init_sram can only return 0, so there is no need for the error check at all. A simplified version of the sematic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r exists@ @r@ statement S1,S2,S3; constant C1,C2,C3; @@ *if (...) {... S1 return -C1;} ... *if (...) {... when != S1 return -C2;} ... *if (...) {...
