Subject: Re: [PATCH][next] PCI: apple: Remove redundant initialization of pointer port_pdev
Date: Tue, 12 Oct 2021 11:02:20 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <YWWjfIYLyyTMLaJX@sunset> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211012133235.260534-1-colin.king@canonical.com>

It looks like 

        port_pdev = pcie_find_root_port(pdev);

might've meant to read

        port_pdev = pcie_find_root_port(port_pdev);

in which case the assignment would be used. I have no strong opinions
either way.

Full context for those following along at home:

```
static struct apple_pcie_port *apple_pcie_get_port(struct pci_dev *pdev)
{
        struct pci_config_window *cfg = pdev->sysdata;
        struct apple_pcie *pcie = cfg->priv;
        struct pci_dev *port_pdev = pdev;
        struct apple_pcie_port *port;

        /* Find the root port this device is on */
        port_pdev = pcie_find_root_port(pdev);

        /* If finding the port itself, nothing to do */
        if (WARN_ON(!port_pdev) || pdev == port_pdev)
                return NULL;

        list_for_each_entry(port, &pcie->ports, entry) {
                if (port->idx == PCI_SLOT(port_pdev->devfn))
                        return port;
        }

        return NULL;
}
```
