Ah, right, I have even missed this fact, that you are using the same index
in the inner loop as in the outter loop.

Quite unreadable indeed :)

I am not getting it. Why can't you do just something like


for ( .... ) {
/* outter loop */
if (error) {
for ( ... ) {
/* inner loop */
}
goto out;
}
}
out:
hid_info(....);
return;
