Ouch. Yeah, that's unfortunate. There's a lot of nested nasty macro
expansion there, but that timing is excessive.

Sparse actually complains about that file:

   drivers/media/pci/solo6x10/solo6x10-p2m.c:309:13: error: too long
token expansion
   drivers/media/pci/solo6x10/solo6x10-p2m.c:310:17: error: too long
token expansion

and while that is a sparse limitation, it's still interesting. Having
that file expand to 122M is not ok.

In this case, I suspect the right thing to do is to simply not use
min()/max() in that header at all, but do something like

and avoid this issue.

So can someone pick up 20240113183334.1690740-1-aurelien@xxxxxxxxxxx so that we are done with this? I see neither Hans, nor Linus got to take it yet.

That said, I'm sure this thing exists to a smaller degree elsewhere. I
wonder if we could simplify our min/max type tests.
I assume we don't care with solo fixed? Hans pointed out ath11k too. Even if there is size increase in the preproc file, I don't see much of compile time increase there.

thanks,
