The free() function checks if its argument is NULL. We should avoid
checking for NULL before calling free like in
if (result->tds)
free(result->tds);
The list of relevant functions differs between Linux and U-Boot, e.g. we
use free().
Adjust the list of relevant functions.

Casting the (void *) output of memory allocation functions before
assignment like in
sata->cmd_hdr_tbl_offset = (void *)malloc(length + align);
is useless.
Adopt the Linux kernel script
scripts/coccinelle/api/alloc/alloc_cast.cocci.
Now 'make coccicheck' generates warnings like:
./drivers/ata/fsl_sata.c:143:29-33:
WARNING: casting value returned by memory allocation function
to (void *) is useless.

kmerr: verify that malloc and calloc are followed by a check to verify
that we are not out of memory.
badzero: Compare pointer-typed values to NULL rather than 0
Both checks are copied from the Linux kernel archive.

Add some useful static code analysis scripts for coccinelle
copied from the Linux kernel v4.14-rc8:
Warn on check against NULL before calling free.
scripts/coccinelle/free/ifnullfree.cocci
Detect superfluous NULL check for list iterator.
scripts/coccinelle/iterators/itnull.cocci
Check if list iterator is reassigned.
scripts/coccinelle/iterators/list_entry_update.cocci
Check if list iterator is used after loop.
scripts/coccinelle/iterators/use_after_iter.cocci
Find wrong argument of sizeof in allocation function:
scripts/coccinelle/misc/badty.cocci

Many Ethernet drivers still use the legacy miiphy API to register their
mdio interface for access to the mdio commands.
This semantic patch will convert the drivers from the legacy adapter API
to the more modern alloc/register API.
