I think the stated reason of better readability isn't particularly sensible as the object code produced is actually slightly larger. x86-64 defconfig (gcc 8.3.0) $ size drivers/input/mouse/alps.o* text data bss dec hex filename 29416 56 0 29472 7320 drivers/input/mouse/alps.o.new 29432 56 0 29488 7330 drivers/input/mouse/alps.o.old Also if this unlikely is _really_ useful, perhaps the !IS_ERR immediately after could also use likely as the test seems only done for an OOM condition. > > > Cc: "Pali Rohár" > > > Cc: Dmitry Torokhov > > > Cc: linux-input@vger.kernel.org > > > Signed-off-by: Kefeng Wang > > > --- > > > drivers/input/mouse/alps.c | 2 +- > > > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > > > > > diff --git a/drivers/input/mouse/alps.c b/drivers/input/mouse/alps.c > > > index 0a6f7ca883e7..791ef0f826c5 100644 > > > --- a/drivers/input/mouse/alps.c > > > +++ b/drivers/input/mouse/alps.c > > > @@ -1478,7 +1478,7 @@ static void alps_report_bare_ps2_packet(struct psmouse *psmouse, > > > /* On V2 devices the DualPoint Stick reports bare packets */ > > > dev = priv->dev2; > > > dev2 = psmouse->dev; > > > - } else if (unlikely(IS_ERR_OR_NULL(priv->dev3))) { > > > + } else if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(priv->dev3)) { > > > /* Register dev3 mouse if we received PS/2 packet first time */ > > > if (!IS_ERR(priv->dev3)) > > > psmouse_queue_work(psmouse, &priv->dev3_register_work,
