Thanks for the work, appreciated. But your patch introduces new sparse
and smatch warnings, which did not exist before your patch:

Would you please take a look? Ideally patches should eliminate warnings,
not introduce new ones.

Also, your patch does not apply cleanly to my l2-mtd tree - and this is
the tree which is currently used for merging MTD and JFFS2 stuff
upstream, and it is in linux-next as well. Would you send patches
against the l2 tree?

Also, there are several checkpatch.pl complaints, please, take a look:
