[PATCH 4/6] drivers: remove unnecessary use of list iterator variable

Jakob Koschel
2022-02-28T11:09:13Z

When list_for_each_entry() completes the iteration over the whole list
without breaking the loop, the iterator value will *always* be a bogus
pointer computed based on the head element.

To avoid type confusion use the actual list head directly instead of last
iterator value.
