I've basically given up on patches from cgel.zte@...il.com,
luo.penghao@....com.cn, zealci@....com.cn, etc. The patches are the
simplest possible changes to silence static analyzer warnings, with no
further analysis of the issues, and no follow-up on questions.

Until that changes, I think we're better off just regarding them static
as analyzer reports.
