Sorry. I don't understand. Do you mean that this patch has the
some issue of cocci script?

I think that it fixes the probe sequence issue
between extcon-palmas and gpio driver. It is not related to
any result from cocci script. If the extcon-palmas.c has
the issue by cocci or checkpatch, anyone can send the other patch
for fixup.

I think that it is enough to fix the issue which is only
related to the probe sequence between gpio and extcon-palmas.c
