When list_for_each_entry() completes the iteration over the whole list
without breaking the loop, the iterator value will be a bogus pointer
computed based on the head element.
While it is safe to use the pointer to determine if it was computed
based on the head element, either with list_entry_is_head() or
&pos->member == head, using the iterator variable after the loop should
be avoided.
In preparation to limit the scope of a list iterator to the list
traversal loop, use a dedicated pointer to point to the found element [1].

I think it is a good catch.

For the changes in firewire-core module:
Tested-by: Takashi Sakamoto <[email protected]>
Unfortunately the activity for maintenance in Linux FireWire subsystem
is quite low. No actions in past half a year. If the patch blocks
further work to improve list implementation, I think it better to look
for the other path to merge.
