After getting my local tree rebased onto the kernel 6.8-rc3 the MIPS32
kernel build procedure produced a couple of warnings which I suggest to
fix in the framework of this series.
A first warning is of the "no previous prototype for `<func>`" type. In
particular my arch-specific code has the mips_cm_l2sync_phys_base() method
re-defined, but even though the function is global it' prototype isn't
declared anywhere. Fix that by adding the method prototype declaration to
the mips/include/asm/mips-cm.h header file. A similar solution was
provided for the methods:
__mips_cm_l2sync_phys_base()
mips_cm_phys_base()
__mips_cm_phys_base()
too (Please see the patches 1/4 and 2/4 notes section for an alternative
suggestion of the way to fix the warning).
One more case of the denoted warning I spotted in the self-extracting
kernel (so called zboot) with the debug printouts enabled. In particular
there are several putc() method re-definitions available in:
arch/mips/boot/compressed/uart-prom.c
arch/mips/boot/compressed/uart-16550.c
arch/mips/boot/compressed/uart-alchemy.c
All of these files lacked the prototype declaration what caused having the
"no previous prototype for ‘putc’" printed on my build with the next
configs enabled:
CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT=y
CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT_UART_PROM=y
CONFIG_ZBOOT_LOAD_ADDRESS=0x85100000
CONFIG_DEBUG_ZBOOT=y
The second warning is of the "passing argument <x> of ‘<func>’ from
incompatible pointer type" type which I discovered in the
drivers/tty/mips_ejtag_fdc.c driver. The problem most likely happened due
to the commit ce7cbd9a6c81 ("tty: mips_ejtag_fdc: use u8 for character
pointers").
That's it for today.) Thanks for review in advance. Any tests are very
welcome.
