cppcheck is wrong here, the code is fine, and setting priv to NULL does
nothing. If it was required, gcc would have hopefully caught it, and
the code would have never worked :)
So are you sure all of these changes are really needed? Last time I
looked, cppcheck wasn't all that smart when it came to the kernel and
threw up huge numbers of false-positives, like this one.
You are right that this one is a false positive. I will take a close look at
the others in this patch.
