Subject: checkpatch nits ...
Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2008 17:21:44 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <48AF5818.7010802@hypersurf.com> (raw)

Hi,

Can I ignore these checkpatch errors:

ERROR: do not initialise statics to 0 or NULL
#829: FILE: powerpc/kernel/cpu/pll_if.c:61:
+static unsigned int override_bus_clock = 0;

ERROR: do not initialise externals to 0 or NULL
#1281: FILE: powerpc/kernel/cpu/pll_if.c:513:
+int rval = 0;

Someone (Arnd?) told me this was due to an older compiler putting these
in a strange section?

WARNING: externs should be avoided in .c files
#1137: FILE: powerpc/kernel/cpu/pll_if.c:369:
+       __asm__ __volatile__ (

??? I don't know what this is?

The entire block is:

	__asm__ __volatile__ (
		"addi %0,%3,-1\n"
		"andc %1,%3,%0\n"
		"cntlzw %1,%1\n"
		"subfic %1,%1,31\n"
		"cntlzw %0,%2\n":
		"=r"(cntlz), "=r"(cnttz):
		"r"(tmp), "b"(cnttz)
	);
