I would like to try again to make you more familiar with applications
of the Coccinelle software.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/dev-tools/coccinelle.rst?id=b4f633221f0aeac102e463a4be46a643b2e3b819#n9

Another small example according to a script for the semantic patch language:
@display@
expression e, x;
statement is, es;
type t;
@@
*e = (t) ioremap(...)
 ... when != if( \( !e \| e == NULL \| unlikely( \( !e \| e == NULL \) ) \| 
WARN_ON( \( !e \| e == NULL \) ) \) ) is else es
 when != iounmap(e)
 return x;

The shown analysis approach can point 127 source files out from
the software “Linux next-20200423”. These files contain function implementations
which might need further development considerations.

You came along a few files where you noticed questionable source code.
Would you become interested to find similar places for another check?

Would you like to extend your learning experiences accordingly?

How do you think about to reduce efforts for manual code inspection?

Sorry, I do not know how to use the SmPL script.

yes, but I think the source code analysis tools only can found the simple
repetitive issue. and need spend some time learning to use it. at different
stages, it should have different methods for me. now, I think the best for
me may be that read and check the source code. Thanks!

You configured your communication filters for some reasons in this way.

The development views can vary also around my software contributions.
It seems to happen often enough that specific suggestions get accepted
from my selection of change possibilities.

This is generally also possible.

But I hope still that our discussions can become more constructive again.

I proposed to take another look at the header of such a file.
I imagine that provided information can trigger further development ideas
for the continuation of a constructive patch review.

I suggest to reconsider this view.

This approach can be usual.

I hope so.

This can be also usual for a while.

I am curious how much special tools can make your software developments
more convenient and safe over time.

Do you find the comments helpful at the beginning of this SmPL script?

Would you like to let any more source code analysis tools help you
to find remaining update candidates?

Please note you are responding to someone who many kernel maintainers,
myself included, have on their blacklist as they are totally unhelpful.
Please feel free to ignore them like the rest of us do.
