[PATCH 8/11] drivers/net/wireless/libertas: Move a dereference belowa NULL test

From: Julia Lawall
Date: Tue Dec 16 2008 - 10:15:14 EST


From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx>

In each case, if the NULL test is necessary, then the dereference should be
moved below the NULL test. I have also taken advantage of the availability
of the value of priv->dev in the subsequent calls to netif_stop_queue and
netif_carrier_off.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

type T;
expression E;
identifier i,fld;
statement S;

- T i = E->fld;
+ T i;
... when != E
when != i
if (E == NULL) S
+ i = E->fld;
// </smpl>
