I was surprised to find this wasn't caught by the original conversion
script, but I suspect Coccinelle is choking on the use of the cleanup
attributes:
struct usb_os_desc_table *os_desc_table __free(kfree) = NULL;
...
if (cdev->use_os_string) {
os_desc_table = kzalloc(sizeof(*os_desc_table), GFP_KERNEL);
I'll see if I can figure this out. I may need to send another set of
bulk replacements...
