With CONFIG_KASAN, this driver has shown a ridiculously large stack frame in one configuration: drivers/media/i2c/cx25840/cx25840-core.c:4960:1: error: the frame size of 94000 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=] In most builds, it's only about 3300 bytes, but that's still large anough to risk a kernel stack overflow. Marking the two register access functions as noinline_for_kasan avoids the problem and brings the largest stack frame size down to 232 bytes.
