And the else could be removed

if (final_candidate == 0xff)
return;

if (iqkok) {
[etc...]

and the code should probably be

if (final_candidate == 0xff)
return;

if (!iqkok)
return;

[unindented etc...]

or combine the first 2 tests

if (final_candidate == 0xff || !iqkok)
return;

[unindented etc...]
