Hi Pingfan,

Thank you for the patch! Perhaps something to improve:

1b2a1e63 Pingfan Liu 2018-06-25  242  			continue;

The break breaks from the switch and the continue continues the loop so
they're equivalent.  Perhaps you intended to break from the loop?

If the list is empty then "ret" can be unitialized.  We test a different
list "dev->links.suppliers" to see if that's empty.  I wrote a bunch of
code to make Smatch try to understand about empty lists, but I don't
think it works...
