The compiler can't know that PATTERN (insn) is always non-NULL. I think it is always non-NULL, thus I'm proposing just removing the IMHO unneeded check, if it was actually needed (but then it would need to be scheduler internal, I think most of RTL code assumes everywhere that an insn has non-NULL PATTERN and PATTERN shouldn't be used on non-insns like notes or barriers), we'd want to swap the pat == 0 check with initialization of *rev.
