This is a pity.

Do you see useful consequences (like a bit less memory requirements)
if the assignment statement âerr = -ENODEVâ will be stored only once
behind the jump label âfailure_indicationâ in the suggested update
for the implementation of the function âioat_xor_val_self_testâ
(instead of being duplicated several times)?

How can they matter for a better understanding of the concrete
source code adjustment?

I did not include a link for special background information explicitly.
But how do you think about corresponding details from discussions
on a topic like âComparing statement lists with SmPLâ?
