In the function softing_startstop() the variable error_reporting is assigned but not used. The code that uses this variable is commented out. Its stated that the functionality is not finally verified. To fix the warning: | drivers/net/can/softing/softing_fw.c:424:9: error: variable 'error_reporting' set but not used [-Werror,-Wunused-but-set-variable] | int j, error_reporting; remove the comment, activate the code, but add a "0 &&" to the if expression and rely on the optimizer rather than the preprocessor to remove the code.
