From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2016 10:50:24 +0200 The kfree() function was called in one case by the redrat3_transmit_ir() function during error handling even if the passed variable contained a null pointer. * Adjust jump targets according to the Linux coding style convention. * Move the resetting for the data structure member "transmitting" at the end. * Delete initialisations for the variables "irdata" and "sample_lens" at the beginning which became unnecessary with this refactoring.
