Subject: Re: [PATCH 03/35] media: uvcvideo: Refactor iterators

I would find a hint for a variable change more appropriate in the patch subject
instead of the word “iterators”.

I suggest to move this assignment into the definition for the affected local variable.


By the way:
I see another source code adjustment opportunity in this function implementation.
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.9-rc4/source/drivers/media/usb/uvc/uvc_ctrl.c#L2165

Can it be nicer to use labels “free_data” and “unlock” (instead of “done”)?
How do you think about to increase the application of scope-based resource management here?
