The variable frame_ready is only assigned the values true and false. Change its type to bool. The simplified semantic patch that find this problem is as follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/): @exists@ type T; identifier b; @@ - T + bool b = ...; ... when any b = \(true\|false\) Signed-off-by: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@xxxxxxxxx> --- This fails at checkpatch due initializing static variable to false. I haven't changed the assignment. drivers/media/usb/cpia2/cpia2_usb.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/media/usb/cpia2/cpia2_usb.c b/drivers/media/usb/cpia2/cpia2_usb.c index be17192..351a78a 100644 --- a/drivers/media/usb/cpia2/cpia2_usb.c +++ b/drivers/media/usb/cpia2/cpia2_usb.c @@ -209,7 +209,7 @@ static void cpia2_usb_complete(struct urb *urb) { int i; unsigned char *cdata; - static int frame_ready = false; + static bool frame_ready = false; struct camera_data *cam = (struct camera_data *) urb->context; if (urb->status!=0) { -- 1.8.3.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
