Hello there,

I just ran the sourceforge tool cppcheck over the source code of the
new Linux kernel 2.6.33-rc6

It said

[./arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/low_i2c.c:594]: (style) The scope of the variable chans can be reduced
[./arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/low_i2c.c:594]: (style) The scope of the variable i can be reduced
[./arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/low_i2c.c:1260]: (style) Redundant condition. It is safe to deallocate a NULL pointer

Please find attached a patch to fix these minor problems.  
The patched version compiles, but I have not been able to test it at run time.

Regards

David Binderman

Hi !

All your patches have various problems with the actual patch format.

Patches should be submitted so that they apply with patch -p1, yours
don't. In fact, the base directory you diffed from seems to differ from
patch to patch. I'm manually fixing those this time around, but please
get that sorted out before you submit a new batch.

Cheers,
Ben.
