This is actually a false positive, checkpatch thinks that
'indio_dev->channels' and 'channels' is the same. Added Joe to Cc.

Yeah. perl finds an $Lval match for either
foo->bar and bar for
foo->bar = krealloc(bar, 1, GFP_KERNEL);
bar = krealloc(bar, 1, GFP_KERNEL);
I can't think of a "pretty" perl way to fix this
because I'm not much of a perl guy, but maybe this
patch below works well enough.
Find all the lvals when there's a possible krealloc
reuse. Check the lvals before and after the krealloc.
Bleat if they not equal.
Andy? Got any better idea?

That last one doesn't work if the krealloc has a cast like
foo = (struct bar *)krealloc(foo, 1, GFP_KERNEL)
Maybe this one is better...
