And the else could be removed

	if (final_candidate == 0xff)
		return;

	if (iqkok) {
		[etc...]

and the code should probably be

	if (final_candidate == 0xff)
		return;

	if (!iqkok)
		return;

	[unindented etc...]

or combine the first 2 tests

	if (final_candidate == 0xff || !iqkok)
		return;

	[unindented etc...]
