You mean this line, right?

In which case, yes I missed it!

I thought so too, but I thought it would be nice to get rid of the
warning anyways. Probably other people will send patches for this same
issue in the future too, i.e. until this warning is not there anymore.

Do you have any suggestions or should we just leave this alone? :)

Maybe:

if (iterm)
  pin = iterm->id


This line will return an error if the iterm is not found anyway:

	if (iterm == NULL || iterm->id != pin)
		return -EINVAL


Let me know what you think
