Yes. I agree that it's confusing. I also suspect that "obd" is never
NULL but I haven't actually looked and these things are sometimes
complicated to verify.

I fine with merging the patch as a cleanup.

Smatch has code to not warn about these but it's not 100% correct so
it still warns sometimes when it shouldn't.
