We get warning for using a unsigned variable being compared to less than zero. The comparison is correct as it checks for errors from previous call to qcom_swrm_get_alert_slave_dev_num(), so we should use a signed variable instead. drivers/soundwire/qcom.c: qcom_swrm_irq_handler() warn: impossible condition '(devnum < 0) => (0-255 < 0)' Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Vinod Koul <vkoul@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/soundwire/qcom.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/soundwire/qcom.c b/drivers/soundwire/qcom.c index b08ecb9b418c..55ed133c6704 100644 --- a/drivers/soundwire/qcom.c +++ b/drivers/soundwire/qcom.c @@ -428,7 +428,7 @@ static irqreturn_t qcom_swrm_irq_handler(int irq, void *dev_id) struct qcom_swrm_ctrl *swrm = dev_id; u32 value, intr_sts, intr_sts_masked, slave_status; u32 i; - u8 devnum = 0; + s8 devnum = 0; int ret = IRQ_HANDLED; swrm->reg_read(swrm, SWRM_INTERRUPT_STATUS, &intr_sts); -- 2.26.3
