This semantic patch simplifies cases where the effect of the processing of
a function call's return code is just to return the result of the function
directly. It may also delete a local return flag variable, if this is no
longer used.
This was proposed by Uwe Kleine-König.

This makes an effort to find cases where the argument to sizeof is wrong
in memory allocation functions by checking the type of the allocated
memory when it is a double pointer and ensuring the sizeof argument takes
a pointer to the the memory being allocated. There are false positives
in cases the sizeof argument is not used in constructing the return value.

As indicated by Sekhar in [1], there seems to be a tendency to use
IS_ERR_VALUE to check the error result for pm_runtime_* functions which
make no sense considering commit c48cd65 (ARM: OMAP: use consistent
error checking) - the error values can either be < 0 for error OR
0, 1 in cases where we have success.
So, setup a coccinelle script to help identify the same.

The devm_request_and_ioremap() function is very useful and helps avoid a
whole lot of boilerplate. However, one issue that keeps popping up is
its lack of a specific error code to determine which of the steps that
it performs failed. Furthermore, while the function gives an example and
suggests what error code to return on failure, a wide variety of error
codes are used throughout the tree.
In an attempt to fix these problems, this patch adds a new function that
drivers can transition to. The devm_ioremap_resource() returns a pointer
to the remapped I/O memory on success or an ERR_PTR() encoded error code
on failure. Callers can check for failure using IS_ERR() and determine
its cause by extracting the error code using PTR_ERR().
devm_request_and_ioremap() is implemented as a wrapper around the new
API and return NULL on failure as before. This ensures that backwards
compatibility is maintained until all users have been converted to the
new API, at which point the old devm_request_and_ioremap() function
should be removed.
A semantic patch is included which can be used to convert from the old
devm_request_and_ioremap() API to the new devm_ioremap_resource() API.
Some non-trivial cases may require manual intervention, though.
