There is no need to call 'gpio_free(evm_sw_gpio[i])' for these error handling cases, it is already done in the error handling path at label 'out_free'. Simplify the code and axe a few LoC. While at it, also explicitly return 0 in the normal path. Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx> --- The code after 'out_free' could also be replace by a single 'evm_sw_teardown()' call, but I'm not a big fan of such construction. In 'evm_sw_teardown()', the 'gpio_unexport()' call could also be removed because it is implied by 'gpio_free()'. Let me now if interested for one or both of these additional clean-up. --- arch/arm/mach-davinci/board-dm646x-evm.c | 13 ++++--------- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/arm/mach-davinci/board-dm646x-evm.c b/arch/arm/mach-davinci/board-dm646x-evm.c index 4600b617f9b4..dd7d60f4139a 100644 --- a/arch/arm/mach-davinci/board-dm646x-evm.c +++ b/arch/arm/mach-davinci/board-dm646x-evm.c @@ -267,20 +267,15 @@ static int evm_sw_setup(struct i2c_client *client, int gpio, evm_sw_gpio[i] = gpio++; status = gpio_direction_input(evm_sw_gpio[i]); - if (status) { - gpio_free(evm_sw_gpio[i]); - evm_sw_gpio[i] = -EINVAL; + if (status) goto out_free; - } status = gpio_export(evm_sw_gpio[i], 0); - if (status) { - gpio_free(evm_sw_gpio[i]); - evm_sw_gpio[i] = -EINVAL; + if (status) goto out_free; - } } - return status; + return 0; + out_free: for (i = 0; i < 4; ++i) { if (evm_sw_gpio[i] != -EINVAL) { -- 2.20.1
