In case of error, the function backlight_device_register returns an ERR pointer, but never returns a NULL pointer. So a NULL test that may come after a call to this function should be strengthened by an IS_ERR test. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @match_bad_null_test@ expression x, E; statement S1,S2; @@ x = backlight_device_register(...) ... when != x = E * if (x != NULL) S1 else S2 // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julien Brunel <brunel@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
