Unfortunately this is not really an ideal case for Coccinelle, because
node is the result of calling a local function and Coccinelle doesn't by
default do any interprocedural analysis.  It is possible to write a rule
that explicitly looks for one function that returns a device node and then
the pattern of its usage in the caller, though.
