As you commented, please share the result
of cocci or checkpatch warning. It is simple to finish
this discussion.

As I commented on other reply,
"I think that my suggestion is better because 'if' and 'else if'
check the error state of same 'palmas_usb->id_gpiod' variable.

If 'if' and 'else if' checks the different variable,
your suggestion is better."
