Run smatch against drivers/staging/csr:

for i in $(find drivers/staging/csr -name \*.c) ; do
	~/path/to/smatch/smatch_scripts/kchecker --spammy $i
done

No error handling for kmalloc()
Locking bugs in uf_check_inactivity()
drivers/staging/csr/unifi_sme.c:884 unifi_cfg_get_info()
	warn: check that 'cfg_ap_config.shortSlotTimeEnabled'
	doesn't leak information
drivers/staging/csr/netdev.c:1989 indicate_rx_skb() warn: variable
	dereferenced before check 'dev' (see line 1979)
drivers/staging/csr/unifi_pdu_processing.c:2707
	uf_handle_uspframes_delivery() warn: was && intended here
	instead of ||?
drivers/staging/csr/csr_wifi_hip_card_sdio.c:2411
	unifi_identify_hw() error: we previously assumed
	'card->helper' could be null (see line 2404)
