While the code is correct, it produces this warning: drivers/media/i2c/ir-kbd-i2c.c:593 zilog_ir_format() error: buffer overflow 'code_block->codes' 61 <= 173 As static analyzers may be tricked by arithmetic expressions on comparisions. So, change the order, in order to shut up this false-positive warning. That also makes easier for humans to understand that it won't be trying to go past buffer size.
