Subject: [PATCH 2/15] drivers/usb/chipidea/core.c: adjust duplicate test

From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@...6.fr>

Delete successive tests to the same location.  In this case res has already
been tested for being NULL, and calling devm_request_and_ioremap will not
make it NULL.  On the other hand, devm_request_and_ioremap can return NULL
on failure.

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

// <smpl>
@s exists@
local idexpression y;
expression x,e;
@@

*if ( \(x == NULL\|IS_ERR(x)\|y != 0\) )
 { ... when forall
   return ...; }
... when != \(y = e\|y += e\|y -= e\|y |= e\|y &= e\|y++\|y--\|&y\)
    when != \(XT_GETPAGE(...,y)\|WMI_CMD_BUF(...)\)
*if ( \(x == NULL\|IS_ERR(x)\|y != 0\) )
 { ... when forall
   return ...; }
// </smpl>

This code could be improved in other ways.  The previous NULL test on res
is not needed, and the dev_err in the error-handling code for the call to
devm_request_and_ioremap is redundant with respect to the logging already
done by devm_request_and_ioremap.  But these should probably be done
separately.
