  From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

In quickcam_messenger.c, if the NULL test on uvd is needed, then the
dereference should be after the NULL test.

In vpif_display.c, std_info is initialized to the address of a structure
field.  This seems unlikely to be NULL.  If it could somehow be NULL, then
the assignment should be moved after the NULL test.  Alternatively, perhaps
the NULL test is intended to test std_info->stdid rather than std_info?

In saa7134-alsa.c, the function is only called from one place, where the
chip argument has already been dereferenced.  On the other hand, if it
should be kept, then card should be initialized after it.

A simplified version of the semantic match that detects this problem is as
follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/):

// <smpl>
@match exists@
expression x, E;
identifier fld;
@@

* x->fld
  ... when != \(x = E\|&x\)
* x == NULL
// </smpl>

Please change it as 

if (!std_info->stdid)
	return -1;

Could you please do this, and send the patch?  It's better that way as
you're more familar with the code and maybe can even test it.
