From: Mark Rustad <mark.d.rustad@xxxxxxxxx>
It is a really bad idea to declare variables or parameters that
have the same name as common types. It is valid C, but it gets
surprising if a macro expansion attempts to declare an inner
local with that type. Change the local names to eliminate the
hazard.
Change s16 => str16, s8 => str8.
This resolves warnings seen when using W=2 during make, for instance:
drivers/firmware/efi/vars.c: In function ‘dup_variable_bug’:
drivers/firmware/efi/vars.c:324:44: warning: declaration of ‘s16’ shadows a global declaration [-Wshadow]
static void dup_variable_bug(efi_char16_t *s16, efi_guid_t *vendor_guid,
drivers/firmware/efi/vars.c:328:8: warning: declaration of ‘s8’ shadows a global declaration [-Wshadow]
char *s8;

v2: Updated patch description to add warning information and modified the
variable names to str* instead of ps*, based on feed back from Matt
Fleming
