  Hi Folks

I asked Julai Lawall to run her Coccinelle
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) test suite on batman-adv. Here are her
results. Some of these issues are already fixed in subversion, others
are real bugs, and some are nice to fix.

I ran all of my tests on your code, and came up with the following 
results.  Search for *** to see my comments about what I think should be 
done.  It is only the first one that seems like a serious bug.  Actually, 
I worked on that problem quite recently, but it must have been just before 
your code showed up, or I missed it for some other reason, because I don't 
have a record of having submitted a patch for that issue for your code.

dev_addr.cocci

***dev->dev_addr is a pointer.  The size of an address is probably 6.  dev
has an addr_len field that might be initialized.

Hey Andrew,

thanks for forwarding! I've commited a patch, revision 1527, which should
fix these things. See some comments inline below.

best regards,
	Simon

fixed in r1527.

kzalloc is a good suggestion, done in r1527.
kmalloc checking should be fixed in r1520, r1521, r1524.

correct, this was already fixed in r1493.

correct, but not needed anymore as we have changed to static initialization in 
r1499.

this one again: kmalloc checking should be fixed in r1520, r1521, r1524.

okay, done in r1527.

I did not find this return (probably due to the skb restructuring),
but all the other useless returns; should be gone now (r1527).

OK, most drivers seem to do this, so we'll do the same (r1527)
