"devpriv" is non-NULL at this point. We dereference it earlier in the function and the inconsistent checking upsets static checkers.

Actually, the function is buggy anyway as devpriv might be NULL (pcmuio_detach() is called even if pcmuio_attach() returns an error).
So let's drop this patch and I'll post a patch to fix the bug. -- -=( Ian Abbott @ MEV Ltd.
