So other style anti-patterns that this check finds are:

net/bluetooth/hci_sync.c
  4489  
  4490          err = hci_start_scan_sync(hdev, LE_SCAN_ACTIVE, interval,
  4491                                    hdev->le_scan_window_discovery,
  4492                                    own_addr_type, filter_policy, filter_dup);
  4493          if (!err)
  4494                  return err;

2) Success handling.
3) Making the last check special/opposite.

*sad face*

  4495  
  4496  failed:
  4497          /* Resume advertising if it was paused */
  4498          if (use_ll_privacy(hdev))
