In this scenario it requires local new pointer, it was known observation we have faced in cmd/sf.c Jagan.

Understood. > In this scenario it requires local new pointer, > it was known observation we have faced in cmd/sf.c What difference does using the local pointer make though? We don't do anything with it. We just assign it to env_flash in the next statement. This is similar to doing: a = foo(); b = a; if (a) ... The below snippet is equivalent: b = foo(); if (b) ... We can get rid of 'a' this way.

The scenario here, seems different here we need to take care of free the old pointer and update new pointer with a global pointer like below. if (b) free(b); a = foo(); b = a; if (!a) fail; So, you mean to say as below? if (b) free(b); b = foo(); if (!b) fail; Jagan.

Since the pointer b is freed/unassigned, the old pointer value is of no use to us. Getting rid of a (or new in case of this patch) makes the code a bit cleaner.

env_flash is a global flash pointer, and the probe would happen only if env_flash is NULL, but there is no checking and free the pointer if is not NULL. So, this patch frees the env_flash if it's not NULL, and get the probed flash in new flash pointer and finally assign into env_flash.
