From: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@xxxxxxxxx> Convert a nonnegative error return code to a negative one, as returned elsewhere in the function. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> ( if@p1 (\(ret < 0\|ret != 0\)) { ... return ret; } | ret@p1 = 0 ) ... when != ret = e1 when != &ret *if(...) { ... when != ret = e2 when forall return ret; } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@xxxxxxxxx> --- walter harms <wharms@xxxxxx>, thanks for the tip. Please take a look carefully to check if I got your suggestion correctly. It was tested by compilation only. drivers/media/pci/cx25821/cx25821-video-upstream-ch2.c | 30 ++++++----------- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/media/pci/cx25821/cx25821-video-upstream-ch2.c b/drivers/media/pci/cx25821/cx25821-video-upstream-ch2.c index c8c94fb..b663dac 100644 --- a/drivers/media/pci/cx25821/cx25821-video-upstream-ch2.c +++ b/drivers/media/pci/cx25821/cx25821-video-upstream-ch2.c @@ -704,11 +704,9 @@ int cx25821_vidupstream_init_ch2(struct cx25821_dev *dev, int channel_select, { struct sram_channel *sram_ch; u32 tmp; - int retval = 0; int err = 0; int data_frame_size = 0; int risc_buffer_size = 0; - int str_length = 0; if (dev->_is_running_ch2) { pr_info("Video Channel is still running so return!\n"); @@ -744,20 +742,16 @@ int cx25821_vidupstream_init_ch2(struct cx25821_dev *dev, int channel_select, risc_buffer_size = dev->_isNTSC_ch2 ?
