Subject: arch/arm/plat-s3c24xx: Move dereference after NULL test
From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx>
If the NULL test on buf is needed, then the dereference should be after the
NULL test.
A simplified version of the semantic match that detects this problem is as
follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/):
// <smpl>
@match exists@
expression x, E;
identifier fld;
@@
* x->fld
... when != \(x = E\|&x\)
* x == NULL
// </smpl>
