There are a number of issues with this patch... :( The bug reports were from kbuild so you'll probably need to just resend the patch series from before as a v2 or something. It can't be [PATCH 14/14]. Where are the others in the series? If you do fix these issues as a separate patch: 1) It needs a subsystem prefix like "[PATCH] ASoC: sma1303: " or something. 2) It fixes 3 different issues so it should be 3 different patches. 3) It needs a commit description. 4) It needs a Fixes tag. > @@ -772,12 +772,13 @@ static int sma1303_add_component_controls(struct snd_soc_component *component) > sma1303_controls = devm_kzalloc(sma1303->dev, > sizeof(sma1303_snd_controls), GFP_KERNEL); > name = devm_kzalloc(sma1303->dev, > - ARRAY_SIZE(sma1303_snd_controls), GFP_KERNEL); > + ARRAY_SIZE(sma1303_snd_controls)*sizeof(char *), > + GFP_KERNEL); I am surprised checkpatch doesn't complain that spaces are required around the * operator. Please just use sizeof(sma1303_snd_controls). Otherwise you have to use devm_kcalloc() to avoid checkers warning about integer overflows. > > for (index = 0; index < ARRAY_SIZE(sma1303_snd_controls); index++) { > sma1303_controls[index] = sma1303_snd_controls[index]; > name[index] = devm_kzalloc(sma1303->dev, > - MAX_CONTROL_NAME, GFP_KERNEL); > + MAX_CONTROL_NAME*sizeof(char), GFP_KERNEL); sizeof(char) is not required.
