///Find conditions where if and else branch are functionally
// identical.
//
// There can be false positives in cases where the positional
// information is used (as with lockdep) or where the identity
// is a placeholder for not yet handled cases.
// Unfortunately there also seems to be a tendency to use
// the last if else/else as a "default behavior" - which some
// might consider a legitimate coding pattern. From discussion
// on kernelnewbies though it seems that this is not really an
// accepted pattern and if at all it would need to be commented
//
// In the Linux kernel it does not seem to actually report
// false positives except for those that were documented as
// being intentional.
// the two known cases are:
// arch/sh/kernel/traps_64.c:read_opcode()
// } else if ((pc & 1) == 0) {
// /* SHcompact */
// /* TODO : provide handling for this. We don't really support
// user-mode SHcompact yet, and for a kernel fault, this would
// have to come from a module built for SHcompact. */
// return -EFAULT;
// } else {
// /* misaligned */
// return -EFAULT;
// }
// fs/kernfs/file.c:kernfs_fop_open()
// * Both paths of the branch look the same. They're supposed to
// * look that way and give @of->mutex different static lockdep keys.
// */
// if (has_mmap)
// mutex_init(&of->mutex);
// else
// mutex_init(&of->mutex);
//
// All other cases look like bugs or at least lack of documentation
