sparse was complaning about an incorrect type cast: drivers/staging/fbtft/fbtft-bus.c:60:1: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) drivers/staging/fbtft/fbtft-bus.c:60:1: expected unsigned short [unsigned] [short] [usertype] <noident> drivers/staging/fbtft/fbtft-bus.c:60:1: got restricted __be16 [usertype] <noident> drivers/staging/fbtft/fbtft-bus.c:60:1: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) drivers/staging/fbtft/fbtft-bus.c:60:1: expected unsigned short [unsigned] [short] [usertype] <noident> drivers/staging/fbtft/fbtft-bus.c:60:1: got restricted __be16 [usertype] <noident> The solution is to add an extra parameter to the macro to differentiate between buffer type and data type. Cc: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Alfonso Lima Astor <alfonsolimaastor@xxxxxxxxx> --- changes for v2: Add maintainer to CC and add result of macro below '---' to ease review of changes. For "fbtft_write_reg8_bus8" and "fbtft_write_reg16_bus16 result" is the same before and after patch. For "fbtft_write_reg16_bus8" macro result after patch is: void fbtft_write_reg16_bus8(struct fbtft_par *par, int len, ...) { va_list args; int i, ret; int offset = 0; __be16 *buf = (__be16 *)par->buf; if (unlikely(par->debug & DEBUG_WRITE_REGISTER)) { va_start(args, len); for (i = 0; i < len; i++) { buf[i] = cpu_to_be16((u16)va_arg(args, unsigned int)); } va_end(args); fbtft_par_dbg_hex(DEBUG_WRITE_REGISTER, par, par->info->device, __be16, buf, len, "%s: ", __func__); } va_start(args, len); if (par->startbyte) { *(u8 *)par->buf = par->startbyte; buf = (__be16 *)(par->buf + 1); offset = 1; } *buf = cpu_to_be16((u16)va_arg(args, unsigned int)); ret = fbtft_write_buf_dc(par, par->buf, sizeof(u16) + offset, 0); if (ret < 0) goto out; len--; if (par->startbyte) *(u8 *)par->buf = par->startbyte | 0x2; if (len) { i = len; while (i--) *buf++ = cpu_to_be16((u16)va_arg(args, unsigned int)); fbtft_write_buf_dc(par, par->buf, len * (sizeof(u16) + offset), 1); } out: va_end(args); } drivers/staging/fbtft/fbtft-bus.c | 24 ++++++++++++------------ 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/staging/fbtft/fbtft-bus.c b/drivers/staging/fbtft/fbtft-bus.c index a80b5d1..81e8af7 100644 --- a/drivers/staging/fbtft/fbtft-bus.c +++ b/drivers/staging/fbtft/fbtft-bus.c @@ -10,33 +10,33 @@ * *****************************************************************************/ -#define define_fbtft_write_reg(func, type, modifier) \ +#define define_fbtft_write_reg(func, buffer_type, data_type, modifier) \ void func(struct fbtft_par *par, int len, ...) \ { \ va_list args; \ int i, ret; \ int offset = 0; \ - type *buf = (type *)par->buf; \ + buffer_type *buf = (buffer_type *)par->buf; \ \ if (unlikely(par->debug & DEBUG_WRITE_REGISTER)) { \ va_start(args, len); \ for (i = 0; i < len; i++) { \ - buf[i] = (type)va_arg(args, unsigned int); \ + buf[i] = modifier((data_type)va_arg(args, unsigned int)); \ } \ va_end(args); \ - fbtft_par_dbg_hex(DEBUG_WRITE_REGISTER, par, par->info->device, type, buf, len, "%s: ", __func__); \ + fbtft_par_dbg_hex(DEBUG_WRITE_REGISTER, par, par->info->device, buffer_type, buf, len, "%s: ", __func__); \ } \ \ va_start(args, len); \ \ if (par->startbyte) { \ *(u8 *)par->buf = par->startbyte; \ - buf = (type *)(par->buf + 1); \ + buf = (buffer_type *)(par->buf + 1); \ offset = 1; \ } \ \ - *buf = modifier((type)va_arg(args, unsigned int)); \ - ret = fbtft_write_buf_dc(par, par->buf, sizeof(type) + offset, 0); \ + *buf = modifier((data_type)va_arg(args, unsigned int)); \ + ret = fbtft_write_buf_dc(par, par->buf, sizeof(data_type) + offset, 0); \ if (ret < 0) \ goto out; \ len--; \ @@ -47,18 +47,18 @@ void func(struct fbtft_par *par, int len, ...) \ if (len) { \ i = len; \ while (i--) \ - *buf++ = modifier((type)va_arg(args, unsigned int)); \ + *buf++ = modifier((data_type)va_arg(args, unsigned int)); \ fbtft_write_buf_dc(par, par->buf, \ - len * (sizeof(type) + offset), 1); \ + len * (sizeof(data_type) + offset), 1); \ } \ out: \ va_end(args); \ } \ EXPORT_SYMBOL(func); -define_fbtft_write_reg(fbtft_write_reg8_bus8, u8, ) -define_fbtft_write_reg(fbtft_write_reg16_bus8, u16, cpu_to_be16) -define_fbtft_write_reg(fbtft_write_reg16_bus16, u16, ) +define_fbtft_write_reg(fbtft_write_reg8_bus8, u8, u8, ) +define_fbtft_write_reg(fbtft_write_reg16_bus8, __be16, u16, cpu_to_be16) +define_fbtft_write_reg(fbtft_write_reg16_bus16, u16, u16, ) void fbtft_write_reg8_bus9(struct fbtft_par *par, int len, ...) { -- 2.7.4 _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
