Hi,

No I can't.

It was spotted by one of my cocci script that tries to find issues 
related to direct return when a function also has an error handling path 
+ manual review so see if it looks like a real issue.

As said in the patch, "This patch is speculative, review with care.". 
That means that it was not tested from my side.
I don't have the hardware, and don't know how to trigger the issue.

All I know is that the code looks wrong *to me*.

Maybe someone at intel.com could give this hint? :)

CJ
