It is obviously not an issue in this case. Since I'm already working on cleaning up this driver to move it out of staging, I figured that I would make sure that it builds cleanly with W=2. This was the only warning found in that driver. The change is harmless in my opinion and it may eliminate a nonsense warning for someone else down the road when doing security audits. This driver doesn't need much to move it out of staging. Most of the patches in this series were trivial cleanups and not interesting at all. Since I already have one of these devices, I figured that I'd do the grunt work to get it out of staging. My goal with the upcoming final patch that moves it out of staging is to reduce the amount of code churn in the driver once it graduates from staging.
