+ if (pdev->dev.of_node) { + const struct of_device_id *match; + match = of_match_node(&s3c24xx_i2c_match, pdev->dev.of_node);I'd appreciate a comment explaining why match can't be NULL here (as to my understanding, it can't). Or just check for it, but this way it looks a bit fishy and people (hopefully ;)) will ask about it.My understanding is that it can't be null for exactly same reason why platform_get_device_id(pdev) can't be null either (see below). I.e. prerequisite for this code to be run at all (as it's called from driver's .probe()) is to be already matched against very same match table.Yes, I agree. Yet, this is not obvious and people might try to fix it (especially since programs like smatch report it as potentially dangerous). Ah, whatever, I could simply apply the fix then :) OK.
Great! I hope it won't cause any problems. :) Regards, -- Karol Lewandowski | Samsung Poland R&D Center | Linux/Platform
