For instance:

I was talking about the output from sparse endian checking, as the driver seems to already be endian annotated. ie, before: $ make C=2 CF=-D__CHECK_ENDIAN__ ... drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:245:36: warning: restricted __be32 degrades to integer drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:243:23: warning: restricted __be16 degrades to integer drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:243:23: warning: restricted __be16 degrades to integer drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:277:36: warning: restricted __be32 degrades to integer drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:279:36: warning: restricted __be32 degrades to integer drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:298:26: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:298:26: expected restricted __be16 [assigned] [usertype] seqno drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:298:26: got int drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:299:21: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:299:21: expected restricted __be16 [assigned] [usertype] verb drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:299:21: got int drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:301:28: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:301:28: expected restricted __be16 [assigned] [usertype] query_seqno drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:301:28: got int drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:322:60: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different base types) drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:322:60: expected unsigned short [unsigned] [usertype] query_seqno drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:322:60: got restricted __be16 [usertype] seqno drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:558:26: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:558:26: expected restricted __be16 [assigned] [usertype] seqno drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:558:26: got int drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:559:21: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:559:21: expected restricted __be16 [assigned] [usertype] verb drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:559:21: got unsigned short [unsigned] [usertype] verb drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:600:26: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:600:26: expected restricted __be16 [assigned] [usertype] seqno drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:600:26: got int drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:602:21: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:602:21: expected restricted __be16 [assigned] [usertype] verb drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:602:21: got int drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:603:21: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:603:21: expected restricted __be32 [assigned] [usertype] mask drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:603:21: got int drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:606:29: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:606:29: expected restricted __be32 [assigned] [usertype] word drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:606:29: got int drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:683:26: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:683:26: expected restricted __be16 [assigned] [usertype] seqno drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:683:26: got int drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:700:26: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:700:26: expected restricted __be16 [assigned] [usertype] seqno drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:700:26: got int drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:702:21: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:702:21: expected restricted __be16 [assigned] [usertype] verb drivers/tty/hvc/hvsi.c:702:21: got int ... And with your patch applied there are no warnings from hvsi.c! So it seems you fixed all the issues, or at least all the issues we can detect with sparse. So I'll merge this as-is with an updated changelog. cheers _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
