Hello! This is an experimental semi-automated report about issues detected by Coverity from a scan of next-20221110 as part of the linux-next scan project: https://scan.coverity.com/projects/linux-next-weekly-scan You're getting this email because you were associated with the identified lines of code (noted below) that were touched by commits: Thu Oct 27 14:37:38 2022 +0300 153e4ad44d60 ("media: i2c: Add driver for ST VGXY61 camera sensor") Coverity reported the following: *** CID 1527249: Control flow issues (NO_EFFECT) drivers/media/i2c/st-vgxy61.c:891 in vgxy61_apply_gpiox_strobe_mode() 885 unsigned int idx) 886 { 887 static const u8 index2val[] = {0x0, 0x1, 0x3}; 888 u16 reg; 889 890 reg = vgxy61_read_reg(sensor, VGXY61_REG_SIGNALS_CTRL); vvv CID 1527249: Control flow issues (NO_EFFECT) vvv This less-than-zero comparison of an unsigned value is never true.

If not, please make sure fixes get into linux-next. :) For patches fixing this, please include these lines (but double-check the "Fixes" first): Reported-by: coverity-bot <keescook+coverity-bot@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1527249 ("Control flow issues") Fixes: 153e4ad44d60 ("media: i2c: Add driver for ST VGXY61 camera sensor") Thanks for your attention! -- Coverity-bot
