A spare warning was reported for drivers/counter/ti-ecap-capture.c:: sparse warnings: (new ones prefixed by >>) >> drivers/counter/ti-ecap-capture.c:380:8: sparse: sparse: symbol 'ecap_cnt_pol_array' was not declared. Should it be static? vim +/ecap_cnt_pol_array +380 drivers/counter/ti-ecap-capture.c 379 > 380 static DEFINE_COUNTER_ARRAY_POLARITY(ecap_cnt_pol_array, ecap_cnt_pol_avail, ECAP_NB_CEVT); 381 The first argument to the DEFINE_COUNTER_ARRAY_POLARITY() macro is a token serving as the symbol name in the definition of a new struct counter_array structure. However, this macro actually expands to two statements:: #define DEFINE_COUNTER_ARRAY_POLARITY(_name, _enums, _length) \ DEFINE_COUNTER_AVAILABLE(_name##_available, _enums); \ struct counter_array _name = { \ .type = COUNTER_COMP_SIGNAL_POLARITY, \ .avail = &(_name##_available), \ .length = (_length), \ } Because of this, the "static" on line 380 only applies to the first statement. This patch splits out the DEFINE_COUNTER_AVAILABLE() line and leaves DEFINE_COUNTER_ARRAY_POLARITY() as a simple structure definition to avoid issues like this.
