I don't think the reduction in duplicated code justifies two output arguments.

How about

static struct md_rdev *dereference_rdev_and_rrdev(struct raid10_info *mirror,
                               struct md_rdev **prrdev)
{
    ...
    *prrdev = xxx;
    return rdev;
}

So we only have one argument for output.

Also, "from_mirror" in the function name doesn't really add more value.

Thanks,
