Yes, thank you for the reminder.

This was a run on our internal version of exfat, which matches
'github.com/namjaejeon/linux-exfat-oot/for-kernel-version-from-4.1.0'.

Klocwork found no other issues worth fixing in that version.

If my time permits I will run it again on latest 'linux-7.0-rc`
respective 'master' to see if anything "new" crept in.

I'll also report any other findings outside of exfat when I find them.
