From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> The function wl12xx_set_power_on is only called twice, once in wl12xx_chip_wakeup and once in wl12xx_get_hw_info. On the failure of the call in wl12xx_chip_wakeup, the containing function just returns, but on the failure of the call in wl12xx_get_hw_info, the containing function calls wl1271_power_off. This does not seem necessary, because if wl12xx_set_power_on has set the power on and then fails, it has already turned the power off. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r@ identifier f,free,a; parameter list[n] ps; type T; expression e; @@ f(ps,T a,...) { ... when any when != a = e if(...) { ... free(a); ... return ...; } ... when any } @@ identifier r.f,r.free; expression x,a; expression list[r.n] xs; @@ * x = f(xs,a,...); if (...) { ... free(a); ... return ...; } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> --- wl1271_power_off seems to be resistent to being called when the power is not on, so this should not change the behavior.
