SubjectRe: Coccinelle: Checking the deletion of duplicate of_node_put() calls with SmPL

Such a detection of a questionable source code place can be nice and helpful.

I constructed another script variant for the semantic patch language.

@deletion@
expression x;
identifier target;
@@
of_node_put(x);
if (...)
goto target;
... when any
target:
-of_node_put(x);


I observe then that this adjustment approach can generate the desired patch
for a source code extract.

elfring@Sonne:~/Projekte/Coccinelle/Probe> spatch ../janitor/delete_duplicate_of_node_put1.cocci crypto4xx_trng-excerpt1.c


- of_node_put(trng);




But I wonder at the moment why it does not work (as expected) for the original
complete source file.

I am curious on further software development ideas.

Regards,
Markus
