    [PATCH 2/11] drivers/watchdog: Eliminate a NULL pointer dereference
    
    At the point of the call to dev_err, wm8350 is NULL.
    
    A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
    follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
    
    // <smpl>
    @r exists@
    expression E,E1;
    identifier f;
    statement S1,S2,S3;
    @@
    
    if ((E == NULL && ...) || ...)
    {
      ... when != if (...) S1 else S2
          when != E = E1
    * E->f
      ... when any
      return ...;
    }
    else S3
    // </smpl>
