Subject: [PATCH 2/2] drivers/media/rc/imon.c: Correct call to input_free_device

From: Julia Lawall <julia@...u.dk>

ictx->touch is intialied in imon_init_intf1, to the result of calling the
function that contains this code.  Thus, in this code, input_free_device
should be called on touch itself.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@r exists@
local idexpression struct input_dev * x;
expression ra,rr;
position p1,p2;
@@

x = input_allocate_device@p1(...)
...  when != x = rr
     when != input_free_device(x,...)
     when != if (...) { ... input_free_device(x,...) ...}
if(...) { ... when != x = ra
     when forall
     when != input_free_device(x,...)
 \(return <+...x...+>; \| return@.....; \) }

@script:python@
p1 << r.p1;
p2 << r.p2;

cocci.print_main("input_allocate_device",p1)
cocci.print_secs("input_free_device",p2)
