staging:iio:adis16260: Fix drvdata inconsistency

Author: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de> The SPI drvdata is set to adis16260_state struct in probe(), but assumed to be the iio_dev struct in remove(). Fix this by setting it to the iio_dev in probe(). The issue has been discovered using the following coccinelle patch: // @r1@ type T; T data; expression dev; @@ ( spi_set_drvdata(dev, (void …

mtd: spear_smi: failure test for null rather than negative integer

Author: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr> dev_get_platdata returns a pointer, so the failure value would be NULL rather than a negative integer. The semantic match that finds this problem is: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // @@ expression x,e; statement S1,S2; @@ *x = dev_get_platdata(…) … when != x = e *if (x < 0) S1 else S2 // Signed-off-by: Julia …

UBIFS: remove invalid reference to list iterator variable

Author: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr> If list_for_each_entry, etc complete a traversal of the list, the iterator variable ends up pointing to an address at an offset from the list head, and not a meaningful structure. Thus this value should not be used after the end of the iterator. Replace a field access from orphan by NULL …

driver-core: Move kobj_to_dev from genhd.h to device.h

Author: Lars-Peter Clausen <lars@metafoo.de> This function is not really specific to the genhd layer and there are various re-implementations or open-coded variants of it all throughout the kernel. To avoid further duplications move the function to a more generic place. While moving also convert it from a macro to a inline function. Potential users of …
