This loop never actually exits, but the way the code is written this is
not obvious. Add an explicit error check.

Can't we call fdtgrep_find_regions() with max_regions = 0 and region =
NULL to do the counting and get rid of the loop? That may be a bit
slower but the code will be much easier to read.

Have a look at the lines in between:

                if (count < 0) {
                        report_error("fdt_find_regions", count);
                        return -1;
                }

Here a free(region) is missing.

Best regards

Heinrich

Yes I think that would be possible. It would require a change to
fdtgrep_first_region since it assumes there is space for its region.

It seems like a good idea to me, but is beyond the scope of this coverity fix.

Simon
