In each case, the function has an unsigned return type, but returns a negative constant to indicate an error condition. The result of calling the function is always stored in a variable of type (signed) int, and thus unsigned can be dropped from the return type. A sematic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @exists@ identifier f; constant C; @@ unsigned f(...) { <+... * return -C; ...+> } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-amd8111.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-amd8111.c b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-amd8111.c index af1e5e2..02a3726 100644 --- a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-amd8111.c +++ b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-amd8111.c @@ -69,7 +69,7 @@ static struct pci_driver amd8111_driver; * ACPI 2.0 chapter 13 access of registers of the EC */ -static unsigned int amd_ec_wait_write(struct amd_smbus *smbus) +static int amd_ec_wait_write(struct amd_smbus *smbus) { int timeout = 500; @@ -85,7 +85,7 @@ static unsigned int amd_ec_wait_write(struct amd_smbus *smbus) return 0; } -static unsigned int amd_ec_wait_read(struct amd_smbus *smbus) +static int amd_ec_wait_read(struct amd_smbus *smbus) { int timeout = 500; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
