This doesn't work for me. I assume you want to define
CONFIG_TSE_USE_DEDICATED_DESC_MEM to let coccinelle walk into the
correct path in drivers/net/altera_tse.c, but for me it still changes
the !CONFIG_TSE_USE_DEDICATED_DESC_MEM code path.

I assume you mean "depends on rule1", because otherwise it never
actually changes the wrong error check.

Overall this looks better than my version. I recreated the patch with
your version and fixed up the altera-tse driver manually.
