Apparently, the NULL test is not necessary at this point.
The semantic patch that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)
// <smpl>
@@
type T;
expression E;
identifier i,fld;
statement S;
@@
- T i = E->fld;
+ T i;
... when != E
when != i
if (E == NULL) S
+ i = E->fld;
// </smpl>
