Agreed, it causes no problems, but it seems like it was intended to be
the dmi init, i.e.

for (i = 0, dmi = dev->mc_list; ...

I suppose it doesn't really matter but either removing the dmi in the
for loop or moving the dmi init in there would make more sense to me.

I really should learn to explain myself fully. Sorry for taking up
your time.
