Some update suggestions were taken into account
from static source code analysis.

  seq: Delete unnecessary checks in snd_seq_ioctl_get_subscription()
  seq: Delete unnecessary checks in snd_seq_ioctl_unsubscribe_port()
  seq: Delete unnecessary checks in snd_seq_ioctl_subscribe_port()
  seq: Adjust 16 function calls together with a variable assignment

[PATCH 1/7] ALSA: seq: Delete unnecessary checks in snd_seq_ioctl_query_subs()

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2017 08:00:34 +0100

Two checks were repeated by the snd_seq_ioctl_query_subs() function
despite of pointer determinations for the used variables at the beginning.

* Adjust jump targets according to the Linux coding style convention.

* Delete extra variable initialisations and the repeated checks
  which became unnecessary with this refactoring.

[PATCH 2/7] ALSA: seq: Delete unnecessary checks in snd_seq_ioctl_get_subscription()

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2017 08:54:36 +0100

Two checks were repeated by the snd_seq_ioctl_get_subscription() function
despite of pointer determinations for the used variables at the beginning.

* Adjust jump targets according to the Linux coding style convention.

* Convert an assignment for the variable "result" to a direct initialisation.

* Delete extra variable initialisations and the repeated checks
  which became unnecessary with this refactoring.

[PATCH 6/7] dmasound_core: Move two assignments for the variable "ret" in state_open()

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2017 10:05:29 +0100

A local variable was set to an error code in two cases before a concrete
error situation was detected. Thus move the corresponding assignments into
if branches to indicate a software failure there.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

And why would that be a problem?
