cpp_check reports drivers/tty/serial/imx.c:1207:15: style: Condition 'r_bytes>0' is always true [knownConditionTrueFalse] if (r_bytes > 0) { r_byte is set to r_bytes = rx_ring->head - rx_ring->tail; The head - tail calculation is also done by the earlier check if (rx_ring->head <= sg_dma_len(sgl) && rx_ring->head > rx_ring->tail) { so r_bytes will always be > 0, so the second check is not needed.
