No I haven't.
I've spotted it while looking at some devm_clk_get_optional() candidate 
with grep.

	git grep -A5 devm_clk_get | grep -B5 ENOENT

Not perfect, but sometimes this kind of approach can find interesting 
things coccinelle would miss.

As an example, the bitmap_alloc patch on sh4 was found this way, with grep.



So nice to have it in smatch, ;-)
