See for example commit 09971adc33b ("staging: iio: addac: Remove unnecessary else after return"). Running script mentioned in above commit with "[PATCH v3] extcon: palmas: hide error messages if gpio returns" applied gives: ~/src/linux$ spatch -sp_file s.cocci -in_place drivers/extcon/extcon-palmas.c init_defs_builtins: /usr/lib/coccinelle/standard.h HANDLING: drivers/extcon/extcon-palmas.c diff = --- drivers/extcon/extcon-palmas.c +++ /tmp/cocci-output-67907-55371b-extcon-palmas.c @@ -207,7 +207,7 @@ static int palmas_usb_probe(struct platf GPIOD_IN); if (PTR_ERR(palmas_usb->id_gpiod) == -EPROBE_DEFER) { return -EPROBE_DEFER; - } else if (IS_ERR(palmas_usb->id_gpiod)) { + } if (IS_ERR(palmas_usb->id_gpiod)) { dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to get id gpio\n"); return PTR_ERR(palmas_usb->id_gpiod); } @@ -216,7 +216,7 @@ static int palmas_usb_probe(struct platf GPIOD_IN); if (PTR_ERR(palmas_usb->vbus_gpiod) == -EPROBE_DEFER) { return -EPROBE_DEFER; - } else if (IS_ERR(palmas_usb->vbus_gpiod)) { + } if (IS_ERR(palmas_usb->vbus_gpiod)) { dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to get vbus gpio\n"); return PTR_ERR(palmas_usb->vbus_gpiod); } That's why I wrote previously: "Then it is matter of time it triggers someones cocci script pointing to else after return." Linux git history proves there are people running such a scripts and results of such a scripts gets applied. I do not care too much, you are the one adding more work for yourself ;-) ladis
