How do you think about a wording variant like the following?

   Change description:
   A null pointer check was performed after a call of the
   function “devm_gen_pool_create” despite of the detail
   that failures are indicated by error pointers instead.
   Thus adjust a check for the failure predicate
   and return the corresponding error code.
