From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2017 10:05:29 +0100 A local variable was set to an error code in two cases before a concrete error situation was detected. Thus move the corresponding assignments into if branches to indicate a software failure there. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
