I don't think it's a good idea to copy'n'paste patch to each change
where you fixing the issue. Can you create a github repository of the
coccinelle recipes and give just a link?

Other than that, I'm fine with the change as long as it compiles without
troubles (had seen recently similar patch that has been sent without
actual testing).
