[v2,7/8] drivers/media/platform/davinci/vpbe.c: Removes useless kfree()

From: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@gmail.com>

Remove useless kfree() and clean up code related to the removal.

The semantic patch that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

Now that you removed this kfree, you could remove this label too. Very
nice your cleanup :)

Thanks!

The problem removing the label is that it will require some more work
naming the labels. See:
if (!vpbe_dev->amp) {
...
	goto vpbe_fail_amp_register;

If I just remove the label vpbe_fail_amp_register, the label names
will not make sense any more as the next label is
vpbe_fail_sd_register. So I will need to change the name to something
different or rename all labels to out1, out2, out3 or err1, err2,
err3, or ....

Any suggestions?

I was looking at the code here, but this code is under
drivers/media/video/davince/vpbe.c....

Are  you using the Linus tree?

BTW, this label is only used once. AFAICS, you can GOTO to the next
label, vpbe_fail_sd_register in this case, who frees another member of
the vpbe_dev.

This make sense to you?

Labal names should not be numbers because this is not GW-BASIC.  The
label should reflect what happens on the next line.  Labeling the
place after the goto location where you started from is always
nonsense.
