Clang warns: sound/usb/mixer_scarlett_gen2.c:1189:32: warning: expression result unused [-Wunused-value] for (i = 0; i < count; i++, (u16 *)buf++) ^ ~~~~~ 1 warning generated. It appears the intention was to cast the void pointer to a u16 pointer so that the data could be iterated through like an array of u16 values. However, the cast happens after the increment because a cast is an rvalue, whereas the post-increment operator only works on lvalues, so the loop does not iterate as expected. This is not a bug in practice because count is not greater than one at the moment but this could change in the future so this should be fixed. Replace the cast with a temporary variable of the proper type, which is less error prone and fixes the iteration. Do the same thing for the 'u8 *' below this if block. Fixes: ac34df733d2d ("ALSA: usb-audio: scarlett2: Update get_config to do endian conversion") Link: https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1408 Acked-by: Geoffrey D. Bennett <g@xxxxx> Signed-off-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@xxxxxxxxxx> --- v1 -> v2: * Use temporary variables of proper type rather than casting, as requested by Takashi. * Mention that there is not a bug at the moment per Geoffrey's comment. v2 -> v3: * Restrict scope of buf_16 more, as requested by Geoffrey. * Add Geoffrey's ack. v3 -> v4: * Fix stray newline added below if (config_item->size >= 8) { leftover from buf_16's declaration. v4 -> v5 (or how many times does it take Nathan to get a patch right): * Re-add note about no bug that was dropped in v3 by accident, as noticed by Geoffrey.
