             ~                      ^~~~~~~~~~~~

This is a false positive:

     include/linux/surface_aggregator/device.h:71:23: note: expanded from macro 'SSAM_ANY_IID'
     #define SSAM_ANY_IID            0xffff
                                     ^~~~~~

Here, clang complains that the input is SSAM_ANY_ID. That is a special
value which has special considerations below. The SSAM_DEVICE() and
thus SSAM_VDEV() macros are intended to only allow either __u8 or
SSAM_ANY_ID as input in this place.

     include/linux/surface_aggregator/device.h:126:63: note: expanded from macro 'SSAM_VDEV'
             SSAM_DEVICE(SSAM_DOMAIN_VIRTUAL, SSAM_VIRTUAL_TC_##cat, tid, iid, fun)
                                                                          ^~~
     include/linux/surface_aggregator/device.h:102:41: note: expanded from macro 'SSAM_DEVICE'
             .instance = ((iid) != SSAM_ANY_IID) ? (iid) : 0,                        \
                                                    ^~~

Here is the special handling for SSAM_ANY_ID. So there is an implicit
conversion from iid, which may be __u8, to int (i.e. the type of
SSAM_ANY_ID), but there is at no point any implicit conversion of
SSAM_ANY_ID to __u8, as clang alleges.

Looks like we are getting bit by https://llvm.org/pr38789 here (also
tracked at https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/92).

Thanks for the links! Looks like this is the same issue.

Is there any way to silence this warning in particular without
suppressing it (e.g. by explicit casting) when users of this macro
_actually_ input any non-u8 and non-SSAM_ANY_ID value as iid,
leading to an _actual_ implicit value-changing cast?

This has been worked around once before, commit b27aca2e555f ("soc:
rockchip: work around clang warning"). I am not sure of another way to
silence the warning in specific instances like you described aside from
just fixing clang (which is obviously the correct solution) so that we
will get real warnings.

Unfortunately, the patch that is linked in the LLVM PR above does not
appear to fix this instance.

So what's the way forward here? Ignore this warning for now and wait for
the clang team to fix it or find a workaround?

The best workaround I can come up with is setting the match_flags
parameter directly as macro argument, which would be a bit more verbose
and feel slightly less clean, but would do the trick.

Also note that any changes to those macros would have to be synchronized
with a couple of patches which are still out to non-pdx86 trees, so if
we're working around this it's best to do this as soon as possible.
Specifically talking to Hans here, as those patches all have a
dependency on stuff that's only in the pdx86 tree right now. I.e.
getting the workaround in before setting up a tag for those dependencies
would simplify things.

I believe GCC does get this right and only emits a warning if a
non-u8 _and_ non-SSAM_ANY_ID value is input.
