  Hi Jonathan,

 Sorry, I think I've made a "mistake" related to naming the patches and
also not running the Smatch checker at a point in time.

  I've got two bugs reported:

- The first one was reported by Dan Carpenter "Re: [bug report] iio:
adc: adding support for MCP3564 ADC". This bug was found using the
"Smatch static checker warning" and it was related to:
> --> 1426                 dev_err_probe(&indio_dev->dev,
PTR_ERR(indio_dev),

This bug was fixed by the above "[PATCH v1] iio: adc: MCP3564: fix the
static checker warning" and it was applied on "Applied to the togreg
branch of iio.git as that's where this driver is at the moment."

Also my mistake at this point was that I didn't setup and run the
"Smatch static checker warning"

Yes, that commit only handled part of the fix.

- The second bug was reported by "kernel test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx>"
also by running Smatch and it was run on the initial driver (without
having the first patch applied)

smatch warnings:
drivers/iio/adc/mcp3564.c:1105 mcp3564_fill_scale_tbls() warn: unsigned
'__x' is never less than zero.
drivers/iio/adc/mcp3564.c:1426 mcp3564_probe() warn: passing zero to
'PTR_ERR'
drivers/iio/adc/mcp3564.c:1426 mcp3564_probe() warn: address of NULL
pointer 'indio_dev'


The:"drivers/iio/adc/mcp3564.c:1426 mcp3564_probe() warn: passing zero
to 'PTR_ERR'" and "drivers/iio/adc/mcp3564.c:1426 mcp3564_probe() warn:
address of NULL pointer 'indio_dev'" were fixed by the first patch.

The "drivers/iio/adc/mcp3564.c:1105 mcp3564_fill_scale_tbls() warn:
unsigned '__x' is never less than zero." is fixed by the last patch
"[PATCH v1] iio: adc: MCP3564: fix warn: unsigned '__x' is never less
than zero."
 by changeing:

-		tmp1 = shift_right((u64)ref * NANO, pow);
+		tmp1 = ((u64)ref * NANO) >> pow;

shift_right function is "Required to safely shift negative values" but
my value is always unsigned so it doesn't make sense to used it. This
error was reported when I have run the Smatch over the driver + first
patch (what was the latest from togreg).

I have applied the patch on top of what was the "latest" from togreg
branch and not on the initial driver.


I could change the description or I could provide a patch to handle
both warning reporting at once.

Thanks,
Marius
