Calling ioctl flush too fast before actual garbage bytes arrive was useless.
It solves an issue e.g. when config asks for scanning for multiple incompatible serial devices:
One scan can mess up the reader and we've to wait & flush properly for the next driver to be able to scan correctly
Problem reported by Coverity:
CID 1090344 (#1 of 1): Use of untrusted string value (TAINTED_STRING)
. tainted_string: Passing tainted string "res->log_level" to "log_init(nfc_context const *)", which cannot accept tainted data.[show details]
Redundant result check leading to dead code was probably indicative
of a missing return value check of acr122_usb_send_apdu()
Problem reported by Coverity:
at_least: At condition "res < 0", the value of "res" must be at least 12.
cannot_single: At condition "res < 0", the value of "res" cannot be equal to -6.
dead_error_condition: The condition "res < 0" cannot be true.
CID 1090327 (#1 of 1): Logically dead code (DEADCODE)
dead_error_begin: Execution cannot reach this statement "acr122_usb_ack(pnd);".
Problem reported by Coverity:
CID 1090334 (#1 of 1): Big parameter passed by value (PASS_BY_VALUE)
pass_by_value: Passing parameter nt of type nfc_target const (size 291 bytes) by value.
Commit 54729fb4581d8cbe722292eb3ba73e76711bd461 removed some dead code spotted by Coverity
but it had as effect to trigger a gcc warning, which prefers to see all enum in a switch rather than dead code:
pn53x.c: In function 'pn53x_InJumpForDEP':
pn53x.c:2552:5: warning: enumeration value 'NBR_UNDEFINED' not handled in switch [-Wswitch]
pn53x.c:2552:5: warning: enumeration value 'NBR_847' not handled in switch [-Wswitch]
So both switches were merged, which slightly optimizes the code for speed.
Problem reported by Coverity:
CID 1090321 (#1 of 1): Unchecked return value (CHECKED_RETURN)

Problem reported by Coverity:
at_most: At condition "io_res < 0", the value of "io_res" must be at most -1.
dead_error_condition: The condition "io_res < 0" must be true.
CID 1090328 (#1 of 1): Logically dead code (DEADCODE)

This avoids Coverity being unhappy that only lower bound was defined, well I hope
lower_bounds: Checking lower bounds of signed scalar "waiting_time" by "waiting_time > 0".

Hopefully fix TOCTOU by calling fopen() before stat()
At least this should prevent Coverity to complain about it:
CID 1090346 (#1 of 1): Time of check time of use (TOCTOU)
fs_check_call: Calling function "stat(char const *, struct stat *)" to perform check on "filename".
toctou: Calling function "fopen(char const * restrict, char const * restrict)" that uses "filename" after a check function. This can cause a time-of-check, time-of-use race condition.
Note that it seems pretty hard to avoid completely:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_of_check_to_time_of_use#Preventing_TOCTTOU
switch case was redundant as getopt was already telling the issue:
nfc-read-forum-tag3: option requires an argument -- 'o'
Option -o requires an argument.
This fixes also a problem reported by Coverity about missing break:
CID 1090330 (#1 of 1): Missing break in switch (MISSING_BREAK)
unterminated_case: This case (value 63) is not terminated by a 'break' statement.
