The way the code works, compression will be a valid value (less or equal to 3) on both set_video_mode_foo() calls at the beginning of the while() loop. So, the value for pChoose can't be NULL. Solves those smatch warnings: drivers/media/usb/pwc/pwc-ctrl.c: drivers/media/usb/pwc/pwc-ctrl.c:252 set_video_mode_Timon() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'pChoose' (see line 248) drivers/media/usb/pwc/pwc-ctrl.c: drivers/media/usb/pwc/pwc-ctrl.c:302 set_video_mode_Kiara() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'pChoose' (see line 298) and simplifies the code a little bit.
