cpu_to_be16() returns __be16 value but the driver uses u16 and that's incorrect. Fix it by using __be16 as the data type of bdf_be variable. The issue was spotted by the below sparse warning: sparse warnings: (new ones prefixed by >>) >> drivers/pci/controller/dwc/pcie-qcom.c:1305:30: sparse: sparse: incorrect type in initializer (different base types) @@ expected unsigned short [usertype] bdf_be @@ got restricted __be16 [usertype] @@ drivers/pci/controller/dwc/pcie-qcom.c:1305:30: sparse: expected unsigned short [usertype] bdf_be drivers/pci/controller/dwc/pcie-qcom.c:1305:30: sparse: got restricted __be16 [usertype] Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Krzysztof Wilczyński <kw@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Manivannan Sadhasivam <manivannan.sadhasivam@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Changes in v3: * Added Krzysztof's reviewed-by tag and modified the commit message as per his comments Changes in v2: * Modified the commit message and subject to describe the actual issue as per comments from Bjorn. drivers/pci/controller/dwc/pcie-qcom.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/pci/controller/dwc/pcie-qcom.c b/drivers/pci/controller/dwc/pcie-qcom.c index 1c3d1116bb60..ddecd7f341c5 100644 --- a/drivers/pci/controller/dwc/pcie-qcom.c +++ b/drivers/pci/controller/dwc/pcie-qcom.c @@ -1343,7 +1343,7 @@ static int qcom_pcie_config_sid_sm8250(struct qcom_pcie *pcie) /* Look for an available entry to hold the mapping */ for (i = 0; i < nr_map; i++) { - u16 bdf_be = cpu_to_be16(map[i].bdf); + __be16 bdf_be = cpu_to_be16(map[i].bdf); u32 val; u8 hash; -- 2.25.1
