From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> The return variable is ret, not err, so initialize that to the error code. 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: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> --- Not tested. drivers/media/platform/davinci/vpbe.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/media/platform/davinci/vpbe.c b/drivers/media/platform/davinci/vpbe.c index 33b9660..a207278 100644 --- a/drivers/media/platform/davinci/vpbe.c +++ b/drivers/media/platform/davinci/vpbe.c @@ -653,7 +653,7 @@ static int vpbe_initialize(struct device *dev, struct vpbe_device *vpbe_dev) if (err) { v4l2_err(&vpbe_dev->v4l2_dev, "unable to initialize the OSD device"); - err = -ENOMEM; + ret = -ENOMEM; goto fail_dev_unregister; } } -- 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
