drivers/cpuidle: Move dereference after NULL test
It does not seem possible that ldev can be NULL, so drop the unnecessary test. If ldev can somehow be NULL, then the initialization of last_idx should be moved below the test. A simplified version of the semantic match that detects this problem is as follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/): // <smpl> @match exists@ expression x, E; identifier fld; @@ * x->fld ... when != \(x = E\|&x\) * x == NULL // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Acked-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
