But I think I can keep the two tags? One is for > fixing the redudant check and another is for the smatch warning reported. Yes, I think so too. You can have Fixes: to the commit that introduced the redundant check, since this was obviously not the correct thing to do, and then perhaps just mention commit 5e50ee27d4a5 ("PCI: pci-epf-test: Add support to defer core initialization") somewhere in the commit log.
