I noticed that gl860-ov9655.c uses the same construct, doesn't that produce the same warning? Also, does clang only warn about 'static u8 *tbl[]' initializers, or also for 'static u8 *tbl' initializers (i.e. not a pointer array) with the same string concatenation? I made a patch that replaces these ugly hex strings with compound initializers: static u8 *tbl_640[] = { (u8[]){ 0x0d, 0x80, 0xf1, 0x08, 0x03, 0x04, 0xf1, 0x04, 0x04, 0x05, 0xf1, 0x02, 0x07, 0x01, 0xf1, 0x7c, 0x08, 0x00, 0xf1, 0x0e, 0x21, 0x80, 0xf1, 0x00, 0x0d, 0x00, 0xf1, 0x08, 0xf0, 0x00, 0xf1, 0x01, 0x34, 0x10, 0xf1, 0x10, 0x3a, 0x43, 0xf1, 0x00, 0xa6, 0x05, 0xf1, 0x02, 0xa9, 0x04, 0xf1, 0x04, 0xa7, 0x02, 0xf1, 0x81, 0xaa, 0x01, 0xf1, 0xe2, 0xae, 0x0c, 0xf1, 0x09 }, (u8[]){ 0xf0, 0x00, 0xf1, 0x02, 0x39, 0x03, 0xf1, 0xfc, 0x3b, 0x04, 0xf1, 0x04, 0x57, 0x01, 0xf1, 0xb6, 0x58, 0x02, 0xf1, 0x0d, 0x5c, 0x1f, 0xf1, 0x19, 0x5d, 0x24, 0xf1, 0x1e, 0x64, 0x5e, 0xf1, 0x1c, 0xd2, 0x00, 0xf1, 0x00, 0xcb, 0x00, 0xf1, 0x01 }, (u8[]){ 0xd3, 0x02, 0xd4, 0x10, 0xd5, 0x81, 0xd0, 0x02, 0xd1, 0x08, 0xd2, 0xe1 } }; but it clang also warns about 'static u8 *tbl' multi-string initializers, then it would make sense to replace all these hex-strings. It's rather ugly.
