At least on s390, gcc complains about that: drivers/media/i2c/saa7115.c: In function 'saa711x_detect_chip.constprop.2': drivers/media/i2c/saa7115.c:1647:1: warning: 'saa711x_detect_chip.constprop.2' uses dynamic stack allocation [enabled by default] While for me the above report seems utterly bogus, as the compiler should be optimizing saa711x_detect_chip, merging it with saa711x_detect_chip and changing: char chip_ver[size - 1]; to char chip_ver[16]; because this function is only called on this code snippet: char name[17]; ... ident = saa711x_detect_chip(client, id, name, sizeof(name)); It seems that gcc is not optimizing it, at least on s390. As getting rid of it is easy, let's do it.
