This patch fixes the following checkpatch.pl error: rxtx.c:558: WARNING: else is not generally useful after a break or return Signed-off-by: Emrys Bayliss <emrys@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- The else statement was replaced with a block to avoid the following compiler error: "warning: ISO C90 forbids mixed declarations and code" due to this declaration: struct vnt_cts *buf = &head->cts_g; (line 559) Is there a better way such as using head (a union) directly instead? The last patch I sent removed the return 0. Since this isn't related to the error in the title I left it for a separate patch. drivers/staging/vt6656/rxtx.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/staging/vt6656/rxtx.c b/drivers/staging/vt6656/rxtx.c index ea5140a..831a051 100644 --- a/drivers/staging/vt6656/rxtx.c +++ b/drivers/staging/vt6656/rxtx.c @@ -555,7 +555,9 @@ static u16 vnt_fill_cts_head(struct vnt_usb_send_context *tx_context, memcpy(buf->data.ra, priv->current_net_addr, ETH_ALEN); return vnt_rxtx_datahead_g_fb(tx_context, &buf->data_head); - } else { + } + + { struct vnt_cts *buf = &head->cts_g; /* Get SignalField,ServiceField,Length */ vnt_get_phy_field(priv, cts_frame_len, -- 2.2.1 _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
