The warning is invalid: the flagged dereferencing of "InstanceZero" is
gated by a condition that is only satisfied if we dereference
"InstanceZero" *first*.
(Perhaps the analyzer assumes that the OrderedCollectionInsert() call,
just before line 259, can change the value of "PciCap->Key.Instance" via
the last argument:
254 //
255 // Add PciCap to CapList.
256 //
257 Status = OrderedCollectionInsert (CapList->Capabilities, &PciCapEntry,
258 PciCap);
259 if (RETURN_ERROR (Status)) {
That assumption is incorrect.)
Add a comment and an ASSERT().
