[PATCH] staging: lirc_serial: silence GCC warning

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Building lirc_serial.o triggers this GCC warning:
    drivers/staging/media/lirc/lirc_serial.c: In function '__check_sense':
    drivers/staging/media/lirc/lirc_serial.c:1301:1: warning: return from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]

This can be trivially fixed by changing the 'sense' parameter from bool
to int. But, to be safe, we also need to make sure 'sense' will only be
-1, 0, or 1. There's no need to document the new values that are now
allowed for the 'sense' parameter, since they're basically useless.

0) This warning popped up when building v3.6.2 using Fedora 17's default
config (in which, for some reason, the LIRC drivers were enabled going
from v3.5.y to v3.6.y).

1) Compile tested only.
