I suspect that what is happening is that there is a runtime error, but
that error is caught somewhere and you don't see it.  Could you send me
again the entire semantic patch so I can check on this?

I think that what you want is:

when != v4l2_async_notifier_add_fwnode_subdev(...,<+...x...+>,...)

ie x occurring somewhere within some argument.
