Subject: [PATCH 4/5] Coccinelle: put_device: Extend when constraints for two
 SmPL ellipses

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Mon, 13 May 2019 09:47:17 +0200

A SmPL ellipsis was specified for a search approach so that additional
source code would be tolerated between an assignment to a local variable
and the corresponding null pointer check.

But such code should be restricted.
* The local variable must not be reassigned there.
* It must also not be forwarded to an other assignment target.

Take additional casts for these code exclusion specifications into account
together with optional parentheses.
