you can remove else if with if (jinfo != info)

keep the warning where it was

move this so that it belongs to if (!info || info->id)

and then return info. Does it work?


	if (name)
		info = spi_nor_match_name(nor, name);

	if (!info || info->id) {
		jinfo = spi_nor_detect(nor);
		if (IS_ERR(jinfo))

		if (jinfo != info)
			dev_warn(();
		info = jinfo;
	}

	return info;
