Hi,
Thanks for the report, it turns out that the checking for gspca_dev->dev,
rather then gspca_dev->present (which is a mod I made on top of
Hans Verkuil's orginal patch), turns out to be a bad idea in general
as its racy, this race has been fixed by this commit:
http://git.linuxtv.org/hgoede/gspca.git/commitdiff/a454f0811950742475b76dbf5ac10876e48ffaaa
Which should also appease the static checker warnings.
Thanks & Regards,
Hans

Hello Hans Verkuil,
This is a semi-automatic email about new static checker warnings.
The patch 254902b01d2a: "[media] gspca: Fix locking issues related to
suspend/resume" from May 6, 2012, leads to the following Smatch
complaint:

Some more dereferences here.
