No, I think it's good.

The only think I see is my comment

As per the other patch for the CRU, it might be nice to attribute
credit to the static analysis tool you have used.

which makes me think there was a discussion on another patch about the
tool.

If you wish to resend to add credit, you're welcome to do so.

Otherwise, patches are collected in the media tree before the current
-rc6 (usually) so seat back and relax it might still take a while.
