Applied, but see below.

dput() also checks for NULL argument, but the check is wrapped into
unlikely(), which is why I presume it wasn't picked up.  It would be
great if you could improve your coccinelle script to handle
{un,}likely() as well.

The patch was corrupted, that should have been a single line.  I fixed
it up but you may want to look into your email client settings.

Thanks,
