Hi Daniel,

Thank you for the patch.

If no entity is found by this loop the next line will dereference a NULL
pointer. There's a similar issue below.

I think the issues reported by coccinelle are false positives, as every
chain is guaranteed to have the proper input terminals (ITERM). This is
verified when constructing the chain at probe time.
