I can't understand this changelog at all.... :/ What are we fixing exactly? It seems like we're fixing something about bitwise operators... I guess let me check the Sparse warnings... Here they are from the latest linux-next: drivers/staging/pi433/pi433_if.c:211:9: warning: mixing different enum types drivers/staging/pi433/pi433_if.c:211:9: int enum optionOnOff versus drivers/staging/pi433/pi433_if.c:211:9: int enum packetFormat drivers/staging/pi433/pi433_if.c:211:9: warning: mixing different enum types drivers/staging/pi433/pi433_if.c:211:9: int enum optionOnOff versus drivers/staging/pi433/pi433_if.c:211:9: int enum packetFormat drivers/staging/pi433/pi433_if.c:268:9: warning: mixing different enum types drivers/staging/pi433/pi433_if.c:268:9: int enum optionOnOff versus drivers/staging/pi433/pi433_if.c:268:9: int enum packetFormat drivers/staging/pi433/pi433_if.c:268:9: warning: mixing different enum types drivers/staging/pi433/pi433_if.c:268:9: int enum optionOnOff versus drivers/staging/pi433/pi433_if.c:268:9: int enum packetFormat drivers/staging/pi433/pi433_if.c:317:1: warning: symbol 'pi433_receive' was not declared.

Should it be static? Each type of fix should be sent as a separate fix with a better changelog. People have already done the "static" fixes and IS_ERR() fixes, so don't worry about those. But I don't think anyway has fixed the enum issues so resend that. Also the bitwise thing is a real bug, but there is already a fix for that, it just hasn't been merged yet. > > Signed-off-by: Elia Geretto <elia.f.geretto@xxxxxxxxx> > --- > drivers/staging/pi433/pi433_if.c | 17 +++++++++++------ > drivers/staging/pi433/rf69.c | 4 +++- > 2 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/staging/pi433/pi433_if.c b/drivers/staging/pi433/pi433_if.c > index d9328ce5ec1d..f8219a53ce60 100644 > --- a/drivers/staging/pi433/pi433_if.c > +++ b/drivers/staging/pi433/pi433_if.c > @@ -208,7 +208,10 @@ rf69_set_rx_cfg(struct pi433_device *dev, struct pi433_rx_cfg *rx_cfg) > { > SET_CHECKED(rf69_set_fifo_fill_condition(dev->spi, always)); > } > - SET_CHECKED(rf69_set_packet_format (dev->spi, rx_cfg->enable_length_byte)); > + if (rx_cfg->enable_length_byte == optionOn) > + SET_CHECKED(rf69_set_packet_format(dev->spi, packetLengthVar)); > + else > + SET_CHECKED(rf69_set_packet_format(dev->spi, packetLengthFix)); The SET_CHECKED() macro is total garbage. It has a hidden return and it calls the rf69_set_packet_format() twice on error it expands to: if (rf69_set_packet_format(dev->spi, rx_cfg->enable_length_byte)) < 0) return rf69_set_packet_format(dev->spi, rx_cfg->enable_length_byte); Mega turbo barf!
