Ideally, coccinelle would strip unnecessary braces too. But I do not see any
option in coccinelle for this, so instead, I edited the patch text using
search&replace to remove the braces. Unfortunately this is not fully automatic,
in particular it didn't deal well with if-else-if-else blocks and ifdefs, so
there is an increased likelikehood be some bugs in such spots.
I also removed part of the patch that coccinelle generated for udev, where we
returns -1 for failure. This should be fixed independently.
While looking at our exit() invocations I noticed that the mtd_probe
stuff uses 'exit(-1)' at various places, which is not really a good
idea, as exit codes of processes on Linux are supposed to be in the
range of 0…255.
This patch cleans that up a bit, and fixes a number of other things:
1. Let's always let main() exit, nothing intermediary. We generally
don't like code that invokes exit() on its own.
2. Close the file descriptors opened.
3. Some logging for errors is added, mostly on debug level.
Please review this with extra care. As I don't have the right hardware
to test this patch I only did superficial testing.
Double newlines (i.e. one empty lines) are great to structure code. But
let's avoid triple newlines (i.e. two empty lines), quadruple newlines,
quintuple newlines, …, that's just spurious whitespace.
It's an easy way to drop 121 lines of code, and keeps the coding style
of our sources a bit tigther.
Usually, we place the #pragma once before the copyright blurb in header files,
but in a few cases we didn't. Move those around, so that we do the same thing
everywhere.
