Subject: [PATCH 1/3] drivers/power/pda_power.c: Move call to PTR_ERR after reassignment
Date: Thu,  2 Feb 2012 15:00:45 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1328191247-23792-2-git-send-email-Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1328191247-23792-1-git-send-email-Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr>

Delete successive assignments to the same location.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression e,e1;
constant c;
@@

*e = c
... when != e = e1
    when != &e
    when != true IS_ERR(e)
*PTR_ERR(e)
// </smpl>
