Drop static on a local variable, when the variable is initialized before any possible use. Thus, the static has no benefit. The semantic patch that fixes this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @bad exists@ position p; identifier x; type T; @@ static T x@p; ... x = <+...x...+> @@ identifier x; expression e; type T; position p != bad.p; @@ -static T x@p; ... when != x when strict ?x = e; // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> --- These patches are all independent of each other. drivers/irqchip/irq-digicolor.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff -u -p a/drivers/irqchip/irq-digicolor.c b/drivers/irqchip/irq-digicolor.c --- a/drivers/irqchip/irq-digicolor.c +++ b/drivers/irqchip/irq-digicolor.c @@ -71,7 +71,7 @@ static void __init digicolor_set_gc(void static int __init digicolor_of_init(struct device_node *node, struct device_node *parent) { - static void __iomem *reg_base; + void __iomem *reg_base; unsigned int clr = IRQ_NOREQUEST | IRQ_NOPROBE | IRQ_NOAUTOEN; struct regmap *ucregs; int ret; -- 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
