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-pasemi.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-pasemi.c b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-pasemi.c index 4174101..837b8c1 100644 --- a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-pasemi.c +++ b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-pasemi.c @@ -88,7 +88,7 @@ static void pasemi_smb_clear(struct pasemi_smbus *smbus) reg_write(smbus, REG_SMSTA, status); } -static unsigned int pasemi_smb_waitready(struct pasemi_smbus *smbus) +static int pasemi_smb_waitready(struct pasemi_smbus *smbus) { int timeout = 10; unsigned int status; -- 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
