Right.
So this statement should be simplified like:
        if (efi_fs_exists(desc, part)) {
                diskobj->volume = efi_simple_file_system(desc, part,
                                                         diskobj->dp);
                ret = efi_add_protocol(&diskobj->header,
                ...
        }
