So, now the function iterates over all lines and returns the size of the last
match, correct?

Why not

	list_for_each_entry_reversed() {
		if (line->name && ())
			break;
	}

	return size;

?

Can be done in the similar (I see the difference) way for the consistency with
above.

Of course this can be replace with...

ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR() check here, but I assume we discourage use of it.
