It was reported by coccinelle with follow script:


@@
expression ret, E;
@@
ret = \(devm_ioport_map\|
devm_ioremap\|
devm_ioremap_wc\|
devm_irq_alloc_generic_chip\|
devm_kasprintf\|
devm_kcalloc\|
devm_kmalloc\|
devm_kmalloc_array\|
devm_kmemdup\|
devm_kstrdup\|
devm_kzalloc\|
\)(...);
... when != ret = E
(
- IS_ERR(ret)
+ !ret
|
- !IS_ERR(ret)
+ ret
|
- PTR_ERR(ret)
+ -ENOMEM
)



It seems smatch also can report this.
