Hi, Static analysis on linux-next with Coverity has detected an issue in rz_ssi_stop, sound/soc/sh/rz-ssi.c with the following commit: commit 03e786bd43410fa93e5d2459f7a43e90ff0ae801 Author: Biju Das <biju.das.jz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Aug 13 10:11:54 2021 +0100 ASoC: sh: Add RZ/G2L SSIF-2 driver The analysis is as follows: 367 368 /* Wait for idle */ 369 timeout = 100; 370 while (--timeout) { Wrong operator used (CONSTANT_EXPRESSION_RESULT) operator_confusion: rz_ssi_reg_readl(ssi, 4) | (33554432UL /* 1UL << 25 */) is always 1/true regardless of the values of its operand. This occurs as the logical operand of if. 371 if (rz_ssi_reg_readl(ssi, SSISR) | SSISR_IIRQ) 372 break; 373 udelay(1); 374 } I suspect the & operator was intended to mask the specific bit. However I'm not sure if the intent is to detect if the SSISR_IIRQ bit should be zero or one at the point where the break should occur, hence I'm reporting this issue. Colin
