Subject: [PATCH] opp: use list iterator only inside the loop

    dev = new_dev->dev;

As discussed before, we should avoid to use a list iterator variable
outside the loop which is considered harmful[1].

In this case, use a new variable 'iter' as the list iterator, while
use the old variable 'new_dev' as a dedicated pointer to point to the
found entry.
