I guess it's good to be paranoid, but this is a little verbose:
wi0 = of_get_property(node, "device-id", NULL);
+ if (unlikely((!wi0))) {
+ printk(KERN_ERR "PCI: device-id not found.\n");
+ goto error;
+ }
wi1 = of_get_property(node, "vendor-id", NULL);
+ if (unlikely((!wi1))) {
+ printk(KERN_ERR "PCI: vendor-id not found.\n");
+ goto error;
+ }
wi2 = of_get_property(node, "class-code", NULL);
+ if (unlikely((!wi2))) {
+ printk(KERN_ERR "PCI: class-code not found.\n");
+ goto error;
+ }
wi3 = of_get_property(node, "revision-id", NULL);
+ if (unlikely((!wi3))) {
+ printk(KERN_ERR "PCI: revision-id not found.\n");
+ goto error;
+ }
Perhaps instead:
wi0 = of_get_property(node, "device-id", NULL);
wi1 = of_get_property(node, "vendor-id", NULL);
wi2 = of_get_property(node, "class-code", NULL);
wi3 = of_get_property(node, "revision-id", NULL);
if (!wi0 || !wi1 || !wi2 || !wi3) {
printk(KERN_ERR "PCI: Missing device tree properties.\n");
goto error;
}
cheers
